FS: Custom-built Dreamcast Arcade Stick

Post by jemsic »

Many of you have already seen it, but here's the link to the pictures:

Code: Select all

I made this stick awhile ago. It's really a joy to play with. It's made with real arcade parts, concave buttons with a competition joystick. A custom overlay I made in photoshop with plexiglass over it. The screws are even flush with the plexiglass, so you won't feel them while you're playing. It doesn't get more heavy duty than this.

PM me with any offers

Sorry, that's too low. It cost me $50 just for the parts, not adding in the week I spent building it. Shipping is probably going to be a lot, because this thing is very large. I'll have to find a box for it, and get UPS and USPS shipping quotes tomorrow.

It's still up for grabs. I'm asking $100 plus exact shipping to wherever :wink:

$50 for parts sounds like you got ripped off. i spent $60 on my arcade controls, and that was 2 8-way joysticks, 4 buttons each, player 1&2 buttons, and a select game button.

happs controls is where i got them from.

It was $50 for parts in all, including all the box and box materials. It was more than $50 if you include the huge custom overlay I had printed up at a custom print shop.

im completely baffled as to why you arranged the buttons like that. i also think its weird how maybe only half the characters pictured are from arcade games, and of those power stone is probably the only one you would actually use the stick for. its a gorgeous stick though

Why are you selling it? Don't you like it, or will you be manufacturing more?

I'm selling it because I'm leaving in the fall to go to college, and I can't take it with me (too big).

I really love it, and wouldn't be selling it if it weren't for necessity.
