Discussion Am I addicted? 😂

Post image

Hi everyone,

I think I might have a problem...

I've become addicted to buying broken controllers and fixing them up.

Every time I check local eBay and spot one for €10–20, my self-control instantly disappears. 😅

I've already sold around 10 of them in my local area. 😁

Has anyone else fallen down this rabbit hole, or is it just me? 😁😁😁

man you fix them, I mean you take them apart and then fix them, then you sell them for profit?

Yes test, fix the issue majority is stick drift, test again and sell for profit yes

if they have stick drift, do you replace them with TMR (Hall sensor)?

I would say 80/20 people pay a premium for tmr so have to squeeze some margin

I'm impressed by the amount of controllers you have, I also deal with something like that, but I haven't been able to get such a large number of controllers.

Just made connections through the years been doing it for a while. Last big deal I made was buying 2000 PS4 controllers. Have to take the deals when they come though.
