If there is anything Xbox does well, it's special edition accessories. For a long time, Xbox has made covetable controllers and consoles, with the latest Spongebob Squarepants Xbox Series X having people sweating in online queues at Best Buy. That doesn't stop third-party brands from making unusual controllers too, as we've seen from brands like PDP, Rock Candy and PowerA — with some older models actually being worth a pretty penny on eBay as this collector found. Not just a penny but around $500.
Marlbsmann, as he goes by on Youtube, is an avid collector of Xbox controllers, both first and third party, and recently posted an exciting find with collaborator Tigger. The pair discussed how they purchased bundles of controllers from thrift stores such as Goodwill, where you're taking a gamble on how many controllers work. Within one particular bundle that Tigger only paid $24 for was quite a prize. It appears even Goodwill didn't even know the controllers worth.
The PDP Halo Wars 2 Banished Controller. There were only 5000 of these controllers ever sent to market 7 years ago, and collectors go wild for them. In fact they sell for anything between $400-$600 on eBay. If you have one sitting in your back drawer, it might be time to cash that baby in.
