Value of a SNES TopFighter Arcade Stick

[evil_genius]

Picked one of these up in a large lot and I couldn't find a whole lot regarding the value. Normally I just search eBay but eBay did not have any recently. It's a nice solid stick. Nice buttons and made of some kinda metal. Don't knnow if the LCD works or not though.

Wow. That is one damn pretty stick you have there.

I wish I knew the price, but at least it's pretty!

I've never seen it, but that's not saying too much as I don't stumble across too many sticks. Do you not have a Super Nintendo to test it with? Interesting to see it has a digital read out. Oh, and here's some info I'm finding on it:

Someone has this in their collection and call it "Top fighter 'Digital action learning system' QJ (Tabletop arcade stick) (http://www.retrology.com/snes.htm)", which they found 27-May-01 (http://www.retrology.com/diary2001.htm)

Speedy_NES over in RFGeneration has one and lists it as one of his favorite 3rd party sticks (http://www.rfgeneration.com/forum/index.php?topic=6540.msg100395) for the SNES.

Here's a little bit more information (http://www.gamersgraveyard.com/repository/snes/peripherals/controllers-programmable.html) on the stick.
"Not only that, but only 20,000 were made, and each comes with a numbered certificate of authenticity..."
What # is yours?

Beyond that most other search hits are straying off-topic. A shot in the dark it's worth at least $20 but then someone else might know better.

I think mine is six-thousand-something. Thanks for the info, regarding the stick. If anyone around here as sold one and knows what it is worth, your knowledge is appreciated.

Every GameXChange I've been to usually has a ton of these clearanced out for about $15-20 brand new. That being said, I've always wanted to try one out; it looks pretty cool. I just wonder why GameXChange can't seem to get rid of them.

It's definitely cool looking. Futuristic looking too. Well, for back then.

I've got one numbered 02003 in my collection of controllers. No certificate or box.

Manufacturer is STD/QJ.

These contorllers go in the 10-20 range, if they sell. A lot of people are turned off by the shipping cost.

Check out these other SNES Arcade Pads. I really want a C & L Joystick but the price is never right. I've omitted the really common arcade joysticks. The Ascii Special is cool too but the prices are really too high.

The C&L Controls Championship Joystick is hands down the best arcade joystick for the SNES as it's all 100% authentic arcade parts. It's lightweight (since it has a plastic shell) but is very sturdy (since there is a metal plate under the control panel). I bought one for something like $15.00 years ago on eBay. I replaced all the microswitches with more responsive ones and the A, B, X, Y buttons with ones that matched the Super Famicom color scheme - L and R were swapped to be white. I ended up selling it here on the forums a couple years ago for $72.00 shipped.

I've got that Capcom one for the Genesis. Is that one rare?

The Capcom Fighter Power Stick GS? Not that much sadly, nice stick though. Is yours white/cream? The Genesis version is harder to find but not rare by any means.

The second pic of the Capcom Arcade joystick is a very interesting controller. If somone hasn't lost it it came with one plug for the NES and one plug for the SNES. The one that I have only has the NES, which is a bummer.

These came as adapters? I think I have seen one of those before. I'll be damned if I knew what it was for at the time. It was stamped with the capcom logo so I was pretty sure it was for some sort of fighter stick.

Yeah mine is white. Good stick but doesn't work good with Ms. Pac Man

Even with the joystick switch set to four way?

[evil_genius]

I guess I should probably try that.

[vintagegamecrazy]

Yeah, the C & L is sweet, I paid $5.99 from a Gamestop years ago I think.
