Why are these on e-bay?
JODY:
The pic is missing a few of the parts then.

It comes with a gameport adapter and 100K pots.
No additional board needed

If somebody's thinking of buying that, I've got one I'd let go for $75. It's the older version of the same stick, as seen in Minwah's post here. The only difference between the old onew and the new ones is that the new ones don't have the big white centering mechanism on the bottom. Mine includes the "Pot Amp" board Minwah mentions. I picked up a few of these a while back, and just don't see myself needing all of them.
They do feel much, much more "Arcade-ish" than a PC joystick. You aren't left with the feeling that you're using a toy instead of the real thing.

What condition is it in?
Oh, I never could figure out what your Avatar was. I thought it was a gold statue of a head kind of like in the opening sequence of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Now I see that it is a Robot (moving to the left).
CheffoJeffo:
On page 310 of my trusty Happs catalog, 95-0392-00 is the PC version (which is $220+, basic is $195). The auctioner C&Pd from the website, but failed to make the distinction.
And ... yep ... might need a gameport/USB converter (looking at things, I would)... I stated things rather poorly.
