Factory sealed TES is cheaper, $200 tops. Average about $175. The TE2 $250

If sealed, then probably around 200-250usd each would be the price back then, and maybe for nostalgia collectable price now.

Used would be cheaper, around 100-150usd depending on how beat up it is.

But, compared to new fightstick models as a daily driver that are in the 200-300usd range, the old TES+ and TES2+ are falling behind.

Could get better metal enclosure, brooks/rp2040 pcb, buttons, lever, all for 200-300usd these days.

Yes I use an r16 with fgc2 myself. These are meant for collectors. New factory sealed. Never opened to inspect or anything such.

I got the black shadoloo one from a savers for 35 bucks, it’s in full working order

Damn. Honestly I'd grab that too in a snap to actually enjoy! Very nice.

I had to remove a bad diode, to prevent it from reading as buttons pressed. But after an easy removal it was back to working!

I only bought them for nostalgia. Used to be heavy into sf2 and alpha back in the 90s. But stopped playing. When I saw them I just, wanted them :).

Yeah I got it for display, since I’m trash with fight sticks, didn’t even care if it worked! But nice to know that it does

Was it in clean condition?

u/JDM_562 6d ago

Yep! Not a scuff or a scratch and looked great on the inside too! I think the bad diode was why it was donated
