Do you think I over paid? I got a coupon for 10% off also I can use towards it.
Heh, you better not be the jerkass who stole that seller's Star Parodier away from me. :evil:

Man, I was all good bidding at 12 seconds blowing past the other bidders with ease, then someone blew me out of the water at 9 seconds. :lol:

I have a few PCE games in my trade list if you feel like taking a look at some point.

No, I don't think you overpaid. I think this is a decent price. Some people pay $200 for the same thing you just bought. The controller's a bit discoloured, but I don't think that's a big deal. Heck, if you were to come to some of the shops in Akihabara in Tokyo... they sell for MORE than that. It's a fine deal.

No worries. Inazuma probably just thinks you overpaid because you didn't get the cheapest deal ever... :roll: You did really well, as far as I'm concerned. Like I said, that same thing in Akihabara is MORE expensive. Yes, it is possible to find a boxed Duo-R in good condition for $100 or less... but that's VERY difficult. I've been here for going on 4 years and have only seen a Duo-R for that price TWICE. If I sold one, I'm pretty sure I could get around $200 plus shipping for it if I gave it some time.

I only have one six-button controller on me, but I want to keep it to myself. :) It goes good with my regular old Duo (yes... my personal PC Engine is just an original Duo. What can I say? It looks kick-ass!). If I find another (hmmm... maybe I want two...)... Ok, if I find another TWO 6-buttons I'll put one up for sale. To be honest, though... only a few games utilize it. The regular 2-button pad will be totally fine for 99% of the PCE games.

I have a PC-FX so I admit I just want the six button RX controller because I like the look and feel of it.

you got a great price, and you didn't have to pay like 80 bucks for shipping.
