cost of spinners ...

Can someone please explain the outrageous price of spinners ?

I paid 175 for a working NeoGeo cabinet with a 25" display ( all it needed was some extra buttons and a cap kit ) , so It's hard to accept that 2 spinners would cost me more than the rest of the cabinet....

is it just a low demand issue ?

thanks

$175 is very cheap for a working NeoGeo cab with working monitor (even with the needed repair).  Spinners don't have to cost that much though.  It depends on which one you get.  You could even DIY a couple for just a few dollars if saving money is important.

I DIY'd mine, but it eventually broke. I'd love to get a proper one, but they are just too damn high.

Why two spinners, though? One is plenty.

IIRC, there's a few driving games that use more than one spinner (assuming you have an attachable wheel).

Ginsu Victim:

Well, if you really MUST have multi-player Ironman Stewart and Super Sprint, I guess I could see that, but to me it's not worth the cost (hell, three spinners cost about what you'd pay for one of those games).
