I found these joysticks on ebay from the seller multitechgames777, has anyone done business with this person before and has anyone tried any of these joysticks? The price looks nice, and help would be appreciated: Red ball top 4/8 way joystick - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=3292422764&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT Green ball top joystick 8 way - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3292438833&ssPageName=MERC_VI_RSCC_Pr4_PcY_BIN_Stores Black bat top joystick (don't know if it's 4 way or 8 way, I assume 8 way) - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3293300744&ssPageName=MERC_VI_RSCC_Pr4_PcY_BIN_Stores Thanks in advance to any help on this. |

I've never bought from them, but there are two reasons I never would: [*]No refunds/returns. Items are sold as-is. So if it sucks or is a POS, that's too bad.[*]Shipping looks like it takes 2 weeks to over a month. That's inexcusible for almost $6.00 to ship a joystick.[/list] Now if you're gonna purchase your parts on eBay, I would go with: [*]123gumby123 for your 8-way and buttons[*]tornadoterrysdot for your 4-way, 8-way and buttons[*]cointechtexas if you're interested in a trackball[/list] I have used all three and they ship fast, charge more than reasonable prices for shipping (123gumby123 does some for free) and have perfect or near-perfect feedback. I'm sure others can vouch for any of these sellers. |

As a matter of personal preference, I noticed the green ball-top has some sort of a lip underneath. I've had balltops like this before and they bugged the hell out of me. Unless you're one of those people that actually grabs the joystick directly from the top instead of the side or underneath, you're goona wish that lip wsn't there. |

Wizard of DelRay, Thanks for the links, I am going to go with one of those guys instead. I do want a ball top joystick, but sounds like I'd be better off waiting until a really good deal comes up on these guys auctions instead. I am going to get some of the Happs Super joysticks from one of them (along with some more buttons), those are the kind I have on my cab right now and I really like the feel of them (I am getting these for my brother in laws cab now). If anyone knows a reputable place to purchase the ball top joys (that is very affordable :) ), please let us know. Thanks |
