Auction Over in NH/USA: Gibson Roadie Mini Flying-V
« on: March 19, 2011, 10:29:02 pm »
Not exactly arcade related but I know there's a few members who play guitar and a few who have kids and I was hoping maybe there's a few who fit into both categories and might want this.

*This thread formerly about a joystick that I just sold on ebay.  I'm tying not to clutter the boards...

Quote from: Item description of joystick for prosperity (and so yotsuya's comment makes sense.)
Very nice Wico joystick for use with Atari systems, Commodor and I'm sure some other systems of the time use the same connector.  Comes in original box with instruction manual and even a business reply mail postcard thingie, ooooh!  Buy it.

If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

Dirty rotten sniper got it with seconds to spare for the starting price...  :P  I'm just ribbing the buyer of course, everyone snipes on ebay!  If it was a member who won, enjoy. :cheers:

I've "updated" this thread to another one of my treasures that I'm giving up for my new hobby.  See the first post if you want to buy a travel sized electric guitar!

In order to make a bid you have to be logged in, enter a dollar amount then click a button that is less than 1% of the screen size.  I argue accidentally bidding is an invalid excuse!

What a jerk... and he had 58 transactions....someone with that many transactions knows how bidding works!
Maybe he bid and his mom yelled down to him in the basement and told him to stop buying on Ebay.

Wow, I totally misread your first post.  I thought you were the ---smurfy--- ebayer.  Good thing I decided against posting in the "bad traders" post...

After sending second chance offers to the other bidders and for whatever reason not getting any responses I relisted and although it didn't sell for quite as much I'm satisfied enough with the final price.
