Title: Ok, which one of you guys bought this?

Was bidding on this because it would be cool to have this as my player 2 joystick so I could play Tron and other games with it.
But the bidding went way too high for me.

I was watching it, but it went too high.

Has to be, you can see the screws holding it down, though that smooth it could be glass.

Yes..

it's 2mm plexi (PC).. Used flash to take the picture, might have added some shine?

Here's a link to the components - cheap :)

I bought my Tron CP with joy (with functioning button) and spinner several years ago for less than that.  I think it was $40 or so.  Pretty expensive for a lot less functionality now.   :(

I've noticed some parts going for pretty high lately on ebay. I don't know what is going on. For instance, I was watching a 19" Electrohome GO7 Chassis. In the last 15 minutes or so, the price jumped to $100. WTF!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
The guy even says it needs a cap kit.

Well now ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---...I have 2 G07 chassis sitting around collecting dust.  I think it may be time to but out the digital cam and the ebay account..

That is definitely normal, so don't get your hopes too high up. ;) $30 is the going rate for a tested working g07. The only thing I can figure is that the person put Ms. Pacman in the title and that alone made him $50 more bucks.
