They probably could have doubled that by cleaning the rust a bit..  it's amazing what sandpaper and a drill can do for those rusted bolts in the joystick.

I was the 2nd highest.  I saw it going and I thew in a just for fun incase bid.  I would have liked the blue handles.  I saw some blue handles go for over $200 the other day.  Totaly crazy IMO.  I think part of the reason it went cheap is it ened at about midnight EST.

That looks to be in the same condition as the one I got recently on ebay, except the handle isn't broken like mine was. I paid double that! :o I still think I got a fair deal though. This one was simply a steal.

Here's another one that just came up on ebay. Looks like it's in GREAT condition, and currently only $0.06. I wonder if that price will hold? ;)

Now that one looks very fine.

Um, maybe. What's interesting is I saw an auction a week or two ago for what seemed the same panel, or another one like it. It used the same picture. And I think it was the same seller. I remember it selling, maybe for close to the same amount.
