I've had this Namco arcade stick for the PS1 sitting in my closet for YEARS now. I bought it new back in the day. I didn't save the box for it though, but it was rarely used, and works/looks practically like new still. I tried doing a search for them on Ebay and found no results! Anyone know the worth of this thing? It's got to be more than 5-10 bucks, it's like a real arcade stick with real arcade buttons/joystick, etc etc.

Black body, yellow buttons? If so, yeah, it's a good stick alright. Although the value is hard to gauge. I've seen them as low as $10-15 but they used to command $40+.

Last one on ebay went for $74.50. They're pretty incredible sticks. Advertise it as PS1 and a PS2 stick and you'll get right around $60-$70 for it.

Wow, that's crazy! I don't think I even payed that much for it new, maybe 30-40 bucks. That's pretty interesting. It is an amazing stick though, the joystick even "clicks" which is nice for pulling off moves in fighting games.

It's a dark grey body with yellow buttons.

Yeah, it was $30 originally. That's what the price tag says on my box at least, unless that was a mark down but it doesn't seem like it.

Indeed, it's a great stick. It's wonderful for emulation if you got a PlayStation to PC converter. Namco was really the way to go if you wanted something other than the standard controllers. Their NeGcon is pure bliss too.

I do prefer the Hori Real Arcade Pro stick. Someone know the value of those while we're on the subject ?
