Am I the only one that can't believe people pay $1500 for a CONTROL PANEL! :dizzy: |

Actually, I think the price I paid for my quad control panel (which is roughly $1000 of the price and included the illuminated trackball, illuminated joysticks, lightning overlay, flight stick, spinner, etc.) was reasonable. The parts alone would be $500, then you have the labor and time of assembling it, etc. If anything, the price of the cab was a bit high since it's simply laminated wood with cam locks. However, it's one of the sturdiest pieces of cam-locking furniture I've ever seen. I guess it's the same with many things. Why pay $5.00 for a box of fruit loops when you can buy "loopy loops" (or any generic brand) for $1.25? Why would anyone pay $500,000 for any exotic car when you can buy a corvette Z06 that's likely faster for $70,000? Why pay for a hooker... oh, nevermind. >:D Seriously, though, for some of us it's a trade-off that makes sense. I just don't have the free time that I used to have to tinker around, so that additional $500 is worth it to me to spend those hours playing my games instead of making and troubleshooting my own panel. |

Ah I see it now. I didn't think it would be that far back... November! Man this has been going on a long time. Truthfully even if I saw it, I'm not sure I would get it. Ricers... Back when I used to ride, ricers were the sport bikes... I wouldn't let that pic get to you... People used to make fun of Japanese bikes because they weren't tough looking. Didn't matter that the bike was half the price and could dance circles around their own chrome laden ones. November though... Krikey that's a long time... I really hope you get your panel... cause that's too long of a delay for me. If you eventually get your panel, would you tell a friend to get one from Christian (either with SS or his new company)? |

OK - didn't go all the way back but tried to clean up the last few days. This thread is being kept open so people can discuss the situation -- please keep it calm. My poor little fingers are sore from all the typing. I'd appreciate it if people killed the profanity (even the altered/misspelled profanity) and name calling. Thanks! --- saint |
