found very cheap arcade parts for sale in the UK
TravistyOJ:
I hate to speculate but usually "high quality" joysticks without saying the name brand = chinese knockoffs. They are definately not Sanwa though.

Hi TravistyOJ & other knockers,
I do take offence to what you are implying here.
What would you like me to do to prove I am not connected to the seller???
I have my ebay & paypal email receipt if this will help put your mind at rest. PM me if you want these, I will also send you the questions I asked through ebay before my purchase.
Anything else you require (within reason) to prove I am for real I will happily try to supply. This is a community that has helped me a great deal in my plans for my machine. To be vilified and called a liar simply because I have not posted before as I take the trouble to find and read the information is dissapointing to say the least.
Minwah: I will of course post my thoughts on the joysticks. They do look like Sanwa copies. The only info I have from the seller is that the are not switchable to 4 way (I asked). If you look closely at the photo on ebay though it does look remarkably like a restrictor plate on the bottom so let's wait and see.
Regards
Muz

I will need a blood sample, a urine sample, a lock of your hair, your birth certificate, and fingerprints. No seriously, there is no way you can prove or disprove your affiliation. It is beyond fishy when two users who have no previous posts both "converse" about a merchant that has previously never been mentioned on the forums, with an OK deal at best. Do you know how many people are selling almost the exact same package deal on eBay? Lots They are just cheap knock off buttons and cheap knock off joysticks made in china. This is hardly newsworthy.

This is -exactly- how the infamous slikstick caper started! ;D
This should probably be moved to the buy/sell/trade forum anyway.

Explain
(1) Why you chose this lame eBay "store"/seller over any other
(2) and why, out of the blue, you just HAPPENED to appear here on BYOAC to promote this seller and tell us about your purchase.
- There are a lot of places to buy buttons.
- A lot of people buy buttons from those various places.
- They do NOT then come here and register on the BYOAC forums to talk about their button purchase unless there is some reason.
- That reason is either (a) The deal is so unblelievable that they were driven to share with the world how they got 1000 buttons for $2.50!
Or (b) They are a shill
