Ebay for controls?

Ebay is great for old or unusual stuff.

What switches did you use for the thumb switches on a Tron joystick? I have one and there isn't much room in the top for switches. Thanks.

talk to poneyboy. he had a blown up diagram of parts for a tron style Jstick
got 2 small plastick switches and the cover fit perfectly.
you are right very tight fit. also do not over tighten the switch, I broke my first one and had to use super glue to fix.

Same rules apply for arcade controls on eBay as anything else -

Know what you're buying
Review your seller's feedback
Ask any questions you have BEFORE bidding

I'd gotten some good deals off eBay.  Also ordered from UltiMarc and Ponyboy directly.  It's all good.

I use ebay much and use it often...TO SELL! I have to admit that occasionally I will buy some stuff and usually the deals are SMOKIN'

What it is is this: If a manufacturer needs to use ebay to promote there product...chances are there not doing so hot in the other markets. Ebay tends to be almost a shameful woe for high end producers to have there products end up there especially as a main platform for sales.  IMHO...I would guess this to be true for for our little industry as well. If you can't get it done here then you will go to ebay and give it a shot.

It's all good no matter where you end up if you have given effort into your product and hopefully it can work out for you whether it is ebay, or the flea market, or your bricks N Morter store or whatever. You get back what you put in usually and sometimes luck will help out as well!!

Thanks for all of your replies. It appears that Tornado Terry no longer is an ebay seller- I can't find his name.

I'm still not sure what to do....I guess I'll see the best deal for me on ebay and compare that to the prices that the members here charge.

Do you know any other recommended ebay sellers for controls?
