Title: [Wanted] Nintendo Buttons - orange and / or blue
Post by: Superully on March 12, 2013, 01:19:26 PM
in order to complete some of my Nintendo projects, i'm looking for a couple of original blue and orange Nintendo buttons. i don't care whether they are discolored or have slight cigarette burns, i just need those buttons :P.

so whatever you've got lying around in your spare parts box somewhere, get them out and show me the money them to me - i'll show you the money in return! 8)

p.s. not interested in crappy mike's arcade reproductions, i'm looking for the real deal ...

i know, damn hard to come by. but some people prefer brand-new replacements over used buttons - and that's where i'm hoping i could come into play 8)

honestly, i don't want to pay 25 dollars for a NOS button, that's insane!!!

Ully, I got some refurbished Nintendo buttons from http://www.arcadeadventures.com/
You can't find them on their website afaik, but just e-mail them.
I bought about 5 of them, and they seemed to have more. Not too expensive either.

Good hunting! :)

They should be 5 dollars each at maximum!

Those sellers are sharks. Anyhow, people oversea are ready to pay good money for those, this is why prices are so high  :evil:
