This isn't real is it?

These look like spray paint jobs (the seller has others) and as far as I know dreamcast controllers never came in that colour, especially not in PAL regions

 

Questionable i have never seen that color and it is very glossy i think you are right and since its been taken apart and painted how does that classify as NEW lol

 

judging by the sellers listings he or she mods controllers that Ironman one looks damn cool !

 

"Never opened" lol, look at the picture... Never seen a controller like this, I guess he found a way to tunnel the paint through the cardboard to paint the controller from the outside of the box without opening it up!

 

HAHA!!
Well yes indeed, like obviously I don't have any problem with modding controllers but the lies! Why must there be so many lies on ebay?
Honestly, if it's a good paint job that's not too bad a price for a boxed painted controller if you happen to fancy one.
Bah

 

You can tell that it is a crappy paintjob. Too much paint, too little sanding.

 

Now that you say it, it seems like it was dipped in thick outdoor paint... or melted caoutchouc...

 

I saw the seller advertising a gold controller and I simply emailed him and asked if it was 'genuine factory gold' he replied saying that it was sprayed. Personally I think the spray job looks okay but wouldn't buy one as I suspect it would come off over extended play as I have official silver controllers that the colour has rubbed away on.
