itatton Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...8&category=3642 If I had a store or something, that would be a pretty awesome deal. -Tatton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Yeah I saw that last night. That is a TON of Genesis controllers thou, and thats not even a really great price at that. If you do the math that works out to $3.33 each. You'd probably need to sell at $5 just to break even, and you'd be lucky to move more than a few a week even at that price.

Callipygous Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 I get 30 cents a piece. $6000 for 20000 controllers is 3/10 = .30 I think you divided the other way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyDevil Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 VGA, that would be the price if there were 2000, but there are 20,000. Works out to about .30 a piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bratwurst Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Looks like the Majesco controllers, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Uh, yeah I would buy 20000 controllers from a guy that has 0 feedback, sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Ya'll people are crazy! 6 goes into 20 3 1/3 times. I did the math. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Even at 30 cents each, it would be hard to break even on these regardless of how big a store/chain one owns. Maybe at 3 cents each, it would be more feasible. Are these controllers compatable with any systems still being manufactured? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveAtari Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 He says right in the ad... 20,016 for $6,000 equals .299 per controller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t.skid Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Wow... buying it a player will have spare pads for some generations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glitch Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 Of course if you look at how he set up the auction you're paying $6,000 for just 1 controller since he put a quantity of 20016. You'd have to bid $6,000 * 20016 for a total of $12,009,600 to claim them all. I'd hate to see the fees on that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably this guy expects people to contact him about buying smaller quantities. @video game addict You still have the numerator and denominator reversed. Dollars per controller is $6000/20000 = $.30 a piece. You are doing Controllers per dollar or 20000/6000 = 3.3 This means you get 3.3 controllers for each dollar you spend. Correct but not very interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
