I thought I would mention this, I wanted a Vindicators and assault control and was looking on EBay, they were going for 15$ each in the computer section.
I found these in Video Games-
Raider Pro (http://cgi.ebay.com/Interact-Raider-Pro-Game-Controller-For-PC-NR_W0QQitemZ170085526543QQihZ007QQcategoryZ49230QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)
Now if you only need one not a great deal, but I got 5 for $25.06 too my door. The boxes look like crap but the sticks seem to be new. I'm gutting them for the hack anyway so....
PS If you order 6 the shipping will probably double, with 5 I got lucky the box was stuffed :)

Wait a minute..... I recognize this. My Ex used to do/have this kind of job.
The boxes are beat up because it's unclaimed freight. Like from UPS, USPS or whatever. The shipping companies don't want them sitting around taking up space if no one claims them so they turn around and sell whatever is on their truck to the nearest bidder by contract. They charge by the truckload and you get whatever is inside. You get shitloads of crap (she once bought a truckload filled with nothing but raw plastic beads for manufacturing. Finding a buyer for that was a nightmare for her.), but you get a lot of gold. Yes, even the occasional arcade machines. I tried to snag a box of unidentified PCB boards that had CAPCOM labeling but the ---smurfette--- wouldn't let me have them. Sold the entire thing off for about $50 but she decided to keep a near useless Asthma misting machine thingie. :banghead:
