I'm looking for some affordable extension cables for my Genesis controllers. I think $15 a pop is a bit much (amazon)!

I picked up a 2 set for SNES for like $10 off ebay and think that is about fair.

Any help? Thanks!

I'm assuming you're in the US since you say "Genesis". This does not include shipping but he's very reasonable that way.

dig through the bins in used mom n pop game stores. i have found several sets of extension cords for 99 cents or less


btw, atari 2600 extension cords work just as well as official genesis cords

chrisbid, I see you're in Columbus too. You have any recommendations? I've not had a lot of success finding good retro deals around here.

there are the 'play it' stores
buybacks have had good selections now and again
play n trade in dublin carries classic sega/nintendo/atari stuff

the other stores i used to go to in the past have gone out of business, and i now that i have a 1 year old running around the house, i dont go out game shopping much these days

Thanks for the feedback. I've checked out play 'n trade and bought a few things there. WOW, that collection you have is huge. I guess you hardly have anything left you need retro! ;)

PS, I understand about time. I've got three of my own all under 5. Actually, it's one of the reasons I got back into the old games. You don't need 50 hours for each one.

I'm actually in Akron, OH. Funny having so many ohioan's on a obscure forum! I'll have to check his shipping rates. Thanks!

That is a very nice and organized collection! Looks like a Samsung DLP TV, I used to love those sets!

The collecting never ends! It just gets more expensive!!!!!
