You port supporters would have to be happy they're on top of the ladder and have a very easy game this week.  Should be a big percentage boost as you belt the Bulldogs.  

Freo on the other hand - have a feeling they'll get beaten by Collingwood which is not what I want  >:(

No offence and I have nothing against the guy, he is in fact quite helpful and everyones entitled to make a living.  However, why would you buy stuff from OZ Stick when you can get them from the US or UK including shipping cheaper?

For the price he charges for a J-Pac for example I can almost get 2 directly from Ultimarc including air mail to Australia, which takes less than a week usually.  A mate and I just bought a whole lot of stuff from Ultimarc and including shipping it came in around A$600.  The same gear from OZ-Stick not including shipping would have cost just under A$800 (not taking into account the sticks I'm getting from Ultimarc are T-Sticks not J-Sticks).

Let's say you're converting a Jamma cab for MAME and you want a 2 player CP with 6 buttons each plus player 1 & 2 start buttons using a J-Pac, Arcade VGA card and J-Sticks.

OZ Stick  A$             Ultimarc  US$
$432.70                   $226.60

Not including shipping from OZ Stick (but including shipping from Ultimarc) the Aussie $ would have to be at 52c for it to be worthwhile getting from OZ Stick.  At present its between 75c and 80c so the cost of getting the same parts from the UK is around A$310, saving you over A$120.

I'm just wondering what thought process is being used is all.  I mean a couple of weeks ago a J-Pac sold on eBay here in Austrlia for over $100 when you can get one shipped from Andy for less than that and know that it is brand new (less if you get ps2 rather than usb).
