Finally got the last piece for my Sega battleship. Original Sega wireless controllers!

Sega Genesis Model 2 w/ Sega CD Model 2 and Sega 32X add-ons along with dual wireless controllers and external s-video mod (Also a EA 4 player adapter in there).



And yes, the wireless controllers do work really well.  I was able to nab one missing a battery cover with the receiver for $30 shipped on eBay then picked up a almost brand new one (in the box) off Amazon for $20 shipped.  Everything works great... although I do need a battery cover :P

I remember a buddy I use to play alot of Genesis with back when we were kids, had a couple of those wireless controllers. From what I remember, they worked just as good as the chorded 6-Pads. And how dare you just slap us all in the face with your copy of MUSHA! Its bad enough my roommate has a copy on his bookshelf across from mine that I have to look at everyday in envy! ;)

Unfortunetly flea markets are pretty much non-existent anywhere near me, unless I wanna drive myself 5 hrs to either Toronto or Hamilton. So I dont even know the thrill of beeing at one, because I never have. One day.....

Local listings come through decently enough tho if you check frequently. Picked up a couple uncommon NES games today for $70. Not a steal but still pretty good considering just 2 of the games are worth pretty much that, if not a little more.

- Faria
- Lone Ranger w/ Manual
- Rockin' Kats
- Times of Lore

Ended up shooting the shit with the guy for a while and hes a collector himself. He was pretty blown away when I showed him my collection. He actually said he just recently found out about The Cover Project and has been thinking of casing up his collection aswell. Told him I was an Admin here! Anyway, lets just say hes not thinking about it anymore lol. Seems like everytime I meet someone who's heard of us, but is still on the ropes about wether or not they want to go through with it, always seem to leave my place saying they are ordering themselves a box of UGC's as soon as they get home! ;D

Wiggy, thanks but I don't need them (Unless you want to sell me a battery cover :P) as the receiver only works with 2 controllers.

BadChad, yeah, had to sneak that in there :P

They are the original Sega 1st party ones.  Kind of uncommon.  Just keep an eye on eBay and Amazon for a good deal on one with a receiver.  You should be able to get a set (Receiver and 2 controllers) for around $50 if you want a good deal.  CGR did a review of them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubgAKns75kc

Ahh nothing as of late.... the market area is hard for me in the Detroit area.  Everyone and their brother think games are worth their weight and gold and resell this stuff.

Those penisy jerks and their "super rare" nhl 96 for 20 bucks....

This is very true.  I've had luck with garage sales around here but it's frustrating that most people start theirs on a Friday while I am working and anything good is long gone by Saturday.

Figured it couldn't hurt to have extras, especially if they're cheap ;)

Goodwill finds today:


Xbox w/ power cord ($14.99) had Halo disc inside
Dreamcast Controller ($5.99) had 2 VMUs inside
PSOne ($7.99) had 2 dimes rattling inside
Gamecube Extension Cable ($1.99)

Also got an SNES from local store today for $60, which is pretty high but considering it's hard to find and I had trade credit I took it.
