Heres my find of the year so far.

[Sylentwulf]

Boxed with instructions in mint condition, WICO Command Control Joystick with Splitter for the 5200 - Goodwill - $.99

Nothing else in sight. Wish I could have found the whole system and games, but I'm not complaining.

Theres a comparison in not as good condition without instructions.

Out of curiousity Toby, are all of your auctions US bidders only now?

Call me clueless, but what the heck is that? :hmm:

[AB Positive]

starcade: it's considered the best 3rd party controller for the 5200 and it's a hard find. Considering how the Atari 5200 joystick works, that makes the Waco the best controller for it period. Finding one with everything in the box in pristine condition is pretty damn sweet. For a buck, that's crazy.

...argh :P

I got lucky a month ago and found a good looking Wico with it's keypad (eliminates the need for the Y-cable) for $4 at a flea. Here's an auction with those babies :)

holy crap those things are cool. But not $100 cool. I'll just stick with my broken atari brand controllers.

I want to find something good at goodwill all their games are $3.99, INTV, genesis, atari, NES and everything is crap.

Bought a DVD player for $15, broken....bought a 15 inch monitor $8 broken.........our goodwill stores suck!


anyway nice buys fellas

Nope, I still do international, anywhere in the world :)

That wasn't my auction I linked to, just to show what I picked up I linked to it.

Not only AN auction......MY auction! Yay! I found those at a yard sale for $5 along with 2 Atari 5200 systems and a bunch of games....I had no idea they'd go for THAT though! I about choked when the auction closed :)

[kainemaxwell]

Cool finds.

[omnedon]

Uhhh...colour me dumb.
x_x

[Tempest]

The reason the auction went so high was because of the keypad which is very rare. The joystick is only worth about $30 or so.

I believe you missed the decimal point in Sylent's original post.
