Title: Good deal on Track Ball?
Post by: jerschwab on August 16, 2004, 03:05:15 am: Hey all, just thought I'd share a good deal on a Wico 3" Track Ball. The auction ends in 16 hours and there's no bidders... it's at $10 plus shipping.

This isn't my auction and i'm not at all affiliated with this buyer... just thought it was a good deal but already have a track ball.

Edit: Looks like there's $13 shipping... maybe still a good deal and you can get some fast shipping? I dunno...

2x bucks shipped to your door? GREAT deal. The best price for a new one I've seen is a 2 1/4 for 26. This is a 3" for less. Hopefully someone will snag it

I bought one that was "tested working" and that's what I ended up with, rusted and only one working optic.

but as you say, You never KNOW!! ???

Well!, now I just have to wait, when I get it, I'll give you the results!!

BTW, It was 12.00 bucks of shipping not 9.99, for me it's a cheap price :P
