I saw the listing yesterday while I was scouring eBay but avoided it when I saw the thumbnail of his ready-for-MySpace pic.  I didn't even see the price.  Mah gawd, what a moron.

Um... What even possessed you to say that? Do you have experience with such things?

I am thinking I have some tokens from Castle Golf and Games somewhere in a box from kidhood. I may sell them as memories too. what do you think? With inflation and the fact that I can not ride my bike to there anymore as it is several states away, I think about $250 each.

Sounds like he has too many fond(ling) memories of his "joystick."

about 8 bucks. Apparently he LOVED that joystick until the little bastard broke his heart.

I'll bet 10 bucks that things been up his butt at least once.

i think its just as funny that he's not only asking 1000$ for an atari joystick that i have found in the thrift store for 1$ and then he is still asking 18$ for shipping, so not only does he rip you off on the joystick but to add insult to injury he's raping you on shipping as well, he's asking  as much for shipping as the joystick costs new!

how funny, its gotta be his way of showing his girlfriend that he is really trying to get a place for them so he can 'get some'....

Apparently begging for money on the internet has become quite popular and often is successful.  Just look at that failure 'Screetch' from "Saved by the Bell" -- he begged for (and received) thousands of dollars for a house:
