How did the seller test this controller?

The plug looks like it's missing something, a common problem with these controllers.  Somehow the seller tested it as working.

Did I miss some info about a rare all black plug end or is the seller full of shit?

Looks like when the seller tested the controller last, the plug broke and stayed in the console that's also for sale.  Seller probably didn't notice.  Technically not lying.

Ah good catch. I figured the seller couldn't be that dumb.

People need to stop loosing those plug ends. If you have the metal end you can simply super glue it back into the controller.

Oh man that's funny! Did anyone notify the seller? I didn't know those "plugs",came off the controller. I've never had that problem with mine. That reminds me of the break away ends on the 360 controllers. Pretty annoying.

Yeah I've got one of these controllers with this feature.  I've been meaning to glue it but i may lop off the end and put a Japanese style connector on it instead.  The controller works perfectly otherwise.

i had a few do that, i replaced the cords

Shouldn't it say "I ship shit" not "I ship fast"

Heh, what a goofball.  I'm tempted to send a message, but why should I help out a goober that's piecing out a system for maximum profits?

I was thinking that as well. You have a controller and a system, selling them separately is a dick move.

But what if someone already has a console with a controller port stuck in it?

[ClodBuster]

I just sent a message regarding the controller, in the hope of potential buyers get aware that the controller is broken.

Haha that's funny.  Wish there was an easy way to get those 8-pin DIN controller ends though, since I have a controller that's met the same fate.  It's easy to buy replacement mini-DIN PC Engine cables, not so with the Turbografx versions, though.

[CatPix]

They look like any 8 pins DIN plugs you can buy everywhere online, to me...
You just gotta be aware that there are U and C shaped pin design :

Bwaaaahahaha!!

That is hilarious, I never fail to be surprised by people.  It would be like selling an Xbox with all those little quick disconnects sticking out of the front of the unit and dangling around.
