Title: Anyone ever used arcadespareparts.com?
Post by: ahofle on November 16, 2011, 01:27:09 am
I'm looking to pick up some Sanwa joysticks and found this site:
http://www.arcadespareparts.com/arcade_parts/sanwa_parts/sanwa_joystick_black/12197.html (http://www.arcadespareparts.com/arcade_parts/sanwa_parts/sanwa_joystick_black/12197.html)

Just wondering if anyone has used them before?  The item's location is Hong Kong which makes me wonder if this is a Chinese ripoff of the Sanwas.  Does anyone recommend another site for picking up these sticks?  Lizardlick never seems to have anything in stock.  The few sites I see that carry them I've never heard of before.

I'm afraid I havent used them, but with customer services staff like this, what's not to trust?

I have checked out the arcadeparts website before and I may be wrong but I seem to remember reading some bad stories about that place.
