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'....
