I have another dead controller or two...how much you looking to pay? I didn't think they were worth anything...
Wow...now THAT is kee-rispy!

Still, I bet there are parts to be salvaged off of that thing.

I like that the case has a lid that comes off, rather than having to pull out the ends.
To most people, dead electronics are just wasted money, but to some of us, they are organ-donors for other dead electronics, while we yell out IGOR---MORE POWER!!!!

If I had the money to ship all of everybody's dead stuff here, I could eventually use quite a lot of it. So could others that revive things, though they probably have more money than I do. (I already have a growing box of fried controllers donated by various people, a few of which i've fixed or used a lot of parts from to fix other things).
