I'm considering selling my 2 topguns, since I might just leave lightgun games off my cab.. what would these fetch?  I think i saw someone sell both for about 70 not too long ago.

I might just use that $$ towards the trackball I have yet to buy

How well do they work?  I may be interested, but dunno how good they are...  Ive seen them around a lil bit..

50-70 sounds reasonable

Well I'm hoping to get 70 (that includes shipping within the USA through USPS).  Including the sensors shipping will probably run be a bit, but I don't mind since it's pretty obvious that these aren't as popular anymore.  I do want you to know though that I'm going to wait until I meet with my friend on thursday and we're going to talk one more time about flush mounting them and how hard that will be (we are routing out space for the monitor.. so if we added these sensors I'd have to make holes in the wood so that the sensors are visible to the gun at 4 points. I originally just used velcro from home depot to hold the bars on the side of my monitor which worked fine for pc use).

So the reason why I'm really turned away from the is the sensor bars which are making it a hassle for me to mount the screen flush.  As you've probably read, it's hard to calibrate them to a point where they feel accurate but once you set them up they feel pretty good.

I love how these light guns feel, they feel sturdy, the recoil feels strong, and the laser is nice and bright.  It was made for use with the original xbox too so the chord has an xbox + usb connection (so the xbox one dangles off).  You also need to connect the sensor bars via 1 usb connection (so for 2 guns you'd be using 3 usbs in total). The biggest issue is getting the calibration spot on.  There's a youtube video online that helps explain this and explains how to perfect it.. but I was waiting to finish my cab before trying the advice.
