Tip for everyone when buying stuff.

When you are ordering from happ, bob roberts, ultimarc, groovygamegear, or any other vendor I suggest really taking a long look at everything they have to offer. I always end up ordering extra stuff, and it always ends up getting used eventually, and it sure saves me a lot on shipping.

Yep, I had a couple of $3.00 orders like that.  Also, for the small, cheap, hardware store-type items - buy one or two more than you need.  It'll save you a trip or an order later on.

Yep, when I bought these little sheet metal plates at home depot that I use to make joystick mounting plates I was smart and bought ten of them. I now have 4 of them left.

I bought an entire box of joystick bolts a while back, and it is almost out.
