Don't forget http://www.groovygamegear.com

Also look on the Buy/Sell/Trade board - you can buy directly from ponyboy, divemaster127, and others for great prices without outrageous shipping charges.

Here is a shameless plug for Divemaster127.  I ordered a bunch of stuff from him the other day.  Over/Under coin door, comp joys, buttons, usb trackball, and a few other things.  Saved about $150 over the Happs retail price.  He shipped right away and I should have everything tomorrow according to UPS.

also check with ponyboy in the buy/sell/trade forum. He is among many of the good people mentioned above as well.
