Just wanted to plug a good website where I bought all my joysticks, buttons, and trackball from.
http://www.arcadeemulator.net/ (http://www.arcadeemulator.net/)
Prices are great, good delivery, would do business again. Just thought I'd let the rest of you know you've got another good option!

Hey guys, I ordered from these guys a couple of weeks ago. It was a trackball, a couple of joysticks and buttons. Service seems to be solid, and i got everything in about a week and a half I believe. Really appreciate the free CD with the artwork and stuff, that was great. I would definetly order from them again!

just checked out their products...seems to me like their just reselling happ stuff

FYI this website is related to the ebay seller www-kidsplaythings-cc which a few members of the board have had alot of shipping delays.I decided to steer clear of them when ordering parts off of ebay because of exibar's warning.Do a search in for sale on www-kidsplaythings-cc .Just wanted to give a little warning on these guys.

Nice catch, Will. Looks like they're probably the same people, just trying to make it look seperate. That said, I still prefer to get my stuff from 123gumby123 and tornadoterrysdot.

I have purchased from these two a number of times and 100% agree with you. When I need a lot of varied products at once, Bob Roberts is still my first choice, but terry can't be beat (price and delivery time) on button orders.
Side note: I'm glad this thread was just trimmed, not completely deleted.

I did realzie they were the same as the supposed kidsplaythings guys, and I realized after I made the purchase when I looked on here. I got scared thinking that I'd been taken, but low and behold I got all my parts with no problems whatsoever in a reasonable amount of time. I DID notice this on the first thread, but I figured since the service was more than acceptable I did not want to steer business away from that guy. I have a suspicion that whoever started the thread is also affiliated with them, but hey I got good service from them so I will not complain.

No, I'm not related to them in anyway. I first found him on ebay (kidsplaythings) and contacted him for a special order. He emailed me and we worked things out.
Mainly a happs reseller, but better prices than most anywhere I could find. Shipping didn't take real long, maybe a week. They communicated really well via email and sent me a USPS tracking number when they mailed it.
Only reason I posted was I'd never seen any "review" of them, so since I had a good experience, I thought I'd share. They've got tons of positives on ebay, which is why I trusted them in the first place.

It's been nearly two weeks since I've ordered from arcadeemulator.net and I am very concerned about my transaction with them. Although they are cheaper than most, the bad service makes up for it. I have been told just last week that my order will be shipped over the weekend and today I got the same answer. I am contemplating on whether or not to report them to my credit card company. I'd hate to have been defrauded.

I think I remember another great site for ordering parts, let

Sounds like you're dealing with www-kidsplaythings-cc for sure. Looks like it might be time to change the title of this thread.

It is definitely kidsplaythings ,if you look at there ebay auctions and look at there questions by buyers part it gives a link to to://www.arcadeemulator.net/ after they answer the question.Im so thankful that I did not order from these turkeys.Tornado terry is the man on ebay ;D

Try it now. It may have been a momentary glitch?

I still get the same thing.

Works for me.

Now it works for me too. Looks like the nameserver got fixed.
-
I finally received my order from them and it was wrong. I was missing a button and they gave me the wrong joystick. Don't order from them.
-
Two weeks now for my order... I think they sent it Pony Express. Oh well lesson learned, spend an extra 20 bucks and get it in a reasonable amount of time from Happ.

I was originally going to order all my parts from that site. Thankfully I saw this thread first.
Originally main motivator was price, but I actually got a better original quote from 123gumby123 than from arcadeemulator.net for similar parts, even though the individual part prices were barely higher for the joysticks/buttons. I saved a lot on shipping, and he threw the button wrench I requested in for free (which I wasn't expecting). He even offered to help and answered the many questions I asked without trying to play up the more expensive products. I got my stuff only a couple of days after it was shipped. Overall it was a very good experience.
I'd stick with ebay guys with a deservedly good reputation like this.

I bought a bunch of items from tornado terry on ebay and he gets an A++.Fast shipping ,returned my email fast and is a great ebayer.I think the title of this thread should be changed to bad seller avoid like the plague.
