0078265317 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Found a used starplex on ebay ending in 3 and a half hours. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Starplex-Controller-for-Atari-2600-Arcade-Style-Buttons-/281907131492?hash=item41a2f97464:g:fswAAOSwZG9WlI9a Since they are not super common is 40 fair for one. Or should I let it run out and hope he relists for cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Hmm...this auction has free shipping and allows you to make an offer. Better make an offer before I do (just kidding). Maybe the seller will take 30? I have two of these controllers and love them. It's the only way to play Asteroids! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoundGammon Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I measured the spacing of the buttons and they're the same as the real arcade machine! I've got 3 myself. Great for Space Rocks and 2 players! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 I forgot to make offer. I hope he relists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 H relisted and lowered the price to 35. Not bad. Or would it be cheaper if somebody built me a small box with 4 buttons. Up, down, left, and right. I don't need fire. Just for pacman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 When did they become so pricey? I picked up 2 off eBay some years ago, was something like $15 shipped for both. I need to dig those out, recheck to make sure they still works, and sell em for $35 each for a nice fat profit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If 35 includes shipping I will take on from you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7800fan Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Not looking when the weather's 10 below! It's supposed to reach a toasty 50 Friday so I can look for it. I have an idea which tub they are in, north-east part of the garage in a blue one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 OK, I will wait till friday. I understand. I hate the cold also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I looked through every tubs in the garage and I did not find it. I'm also missing a couple tubs one that had a few working NES decks and bunch of Nintendo controllers. I think someone's been in my garage and took a few tubs.

Since it has been 11 years now the price is going up. I sold all of the ones that I bought but I think that I still have several new boxes somewhere in my house.

0078265317 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 I thought you meant spare controllers not just the box. But anyhow I found another solution. So I no longer need the starplex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
