bought it from http://www.starburstcoin.com
they're close to me so I pick it up directly. I think I paid about $20CDN each.

I'd just like to share this with everyone here. I called starburst about scooping a pair of Happs p360s a few weeks ago. The person there said they had them and so I asked how much they were. He said they were a bit pricey compared to an ultimate stick but was busy so could not look them up. I said I'd come in and when I did they were the wico360s - p360's were out of stock. I asked how much and he said it was $50.00 for each wico360!! On top of that he said they only came in red which I think is dumb.
I said forget it and asked about the happs p360s and he said they'd be $75.00 each once he orders them in!!! The people there seem to be nice to your face and smirk when you turn around. I personally don't like to be taken for a fool, did he think I was going to end up paying for his lunch? I figured I wouldn't order it online from happs since starbust are distributors and close to me but now I won't go back unless I need a switch or something small. I ordered my p360s for $40.00 CDN each from happs online.
The point is if you go there do your homework first.

I ended up picking up 4 of the "shelf worn" Wico 360s from Starburstcoin. They are red-handled, but I couldn't pass up the $20 canadaian price. I am in the US and the whole order cost me $54 US.
I will let you know what condition they are in when I receive them....maybe include some pics.
Later all,

m3tal is the man for turning me on to them and this deal. That is where he picked his up.

Really.. I talked to them a couple of months ago and he quoted me about $50 CDN for the wico 360's.. now they are 20? heh
i tried to get him down in price but no go.... already bought super joysticks so not going to get it now..

He originally quoted me $70...then I heard from m3tal that they had an old stock of Wicos that were made from a previous batch, just shelf-dirty.
He came back to me on those at $20.

I received the sticks today and they are in perfect shape. Just a heads up.
All of my sticks are red handled.
