I just bought an NBA Jam Cabinet ... looking to replace all the joysticks and buttons ...

guess that means I'm looking for ...

2x Red Joysticks
2x Blue Joysticks
4x White Buttons
4x Red Buttons
4x White Buttons
4x Black Buttons

I believe these are Happ Ultimate 8-Way Sticks, but not what the difference is between the Ultimate and Universal (if someone could clarify, I'd appreciate it.

Would require shipping to Canada (Postal Code L5W 1C3) Please!

As of today 11/12/05 I will NOT be extending terms ( Due Upon Receipt ) on shipments. I will only be accepting PayPal as form of payment. If you would like to send a Money Order or Check you may. I will not ship any product until payment is made in full.

For those forum members who supported my Honor System I Thank You. I am sorry a few bad apples put this to its end.

As always Thank You for your Support.

Ponyboy,

I'm sorry you caught some jerks. That's a real shame. Your system was very nice, and almost totally unknown on the 'net, and I know I appreciated it a lot.

I'm sure all legitimate buyers won't have a problem with Paypal or MO, I'm just said you got screwed by a few idiots. Glad you're sticking around though, and not leaving

I, for one, would be interested to know who stiffed you. And it also seems possible that this information could result in you getting paid.

Sorry you got screwed, pb

ponyboy · « **Reply #168 on:** November 12, 2005, 02:51:22 pm »

Quarterback, I would love to list these people but what they did was they signed up placed the order when they received they cancelled their name on the forum.

skippy · « **Reply #169 on:** November 12, 2005, 11:17:05 pm »

That sucks, I wondered how often you got stiffed, nobody cross ships for that reason. Sorry to hear about it, but I do not think it will stop any of the good people from ordering. I'm sure most of us wouldn't mind a little cost increase to cover your pay pal expenses. I know I wouldn't so I could keep getting that lightning fast shipping you do.

Dervacumen · « **Reply #170 on:** November 13, 2005, 09:06:44 am »

Ditto quarterback's and skippy's comments.

By the way, my check is in the mail. Thanks again for the quick service. Only one thing to add. The postage was off so there was postage due on the package. Which is no big deal really, it just took a couple of days for me to get to the post office which resulted in a delay in payment 'cause I didn't know the total. The guy at the post office thought maybe your scale was off.

Hey, there's an idea. What about COD? Nah forget it.

Sorry to hear about the trouble you had. I was almost in shock when I ordered from you in the past and you had me pay after I recievied the parts. Just know that many of us here have a deep respect for your former business approach (a throwback to the old general store days) and totally understand why you have to change. Look forward to buying from you in the future when I need some new parts.

TravistyOJ · « **Reply #173 on:** November 22, 2005, 05:06:37 pm »

Sorry for the stupid question but whats in a Wico joystick actuator kit, does it have the leafswitches?

hypernova · « **Reply #174 on:** November 23, 2005, 06:57:27 pm »

hmm...eerie. and i just asked you about two months ago as to how many times you'd been screwed...you said 5 i think it was, for a total of around $260. did it take a large jump since then? how much did you end up getting stiffed for, by how many people total?

i'm just insanely curious about these types of things.

pay before? heck, that's all that most of us know anyway in the world outside of ponyboy prior to this, so it won't be anything new for us! thanks for all the great service.

incidentally, i will be placing another order at some point or another...though i want to get a bunch of stuff from suzo first from level42. so it might be awhile. as in months. but that's irrelevant...and i'm rambling.

Sorry to hear that you got stiffed. If paypal fee's are cutting into the prices too much you should just pass them along to customers who pay through paypal. 3.07% + $0.30 covers the paypal fee exactly. I wouldn't mind paying the fee for the convience to pay through paypal.

While a LOT of people do that, it's against the PayPal TOS to charge the fees and you can have your account shut down if you're caught doing it. A lot of people try to get away with it by offering a 5% discount for cash or money order payments, but it's still not totally legal.

That might be so under their 'rules'. Merchant accounts cost a fair bit of money and I GUARANTEE you that stores accepting credit cards are not simply eating that cost. The credit cards charge the businesses and as an expense they charge the consumer. Paypal/ebay doesn't like that so they make up a rule about it. They think they somehow have the right to pass on the fees charged to them, but businesses using their service can't.

Hogwash.

Merchant accounts and retail stores don't work any differently. If you find a store that charges a customer MORE for using a credit card, report them and they can have their Visa/MC/Amex account pulled.

Believe it or not, but It's not an eBay rule just to screw you over, it's a Credit Card company rule to prevent cost discrimination against Credit Card use. If an item costs a customer more when they use a credit card than if they were to use cash then people are going to avoid using the card.

Adding a credit card surcharge just also happens to be against the law in some states.

Quote

Since 1984, when a Truth in Lending law ban on surcharges expired, some states have enacted laws prohibiting surcharges; see States That Prohibit Credit Card Surcharges.

Visa and MasterCard prohibit surcharges, and American Express discourages them. Amex does prohibit "discrimination" against the Amex card, however, so if a merchant accepts Visa and MasterCard (and cannot impose a surcharge under those companies' rules), the merchant may not discriminate against Amex by imposing a surcharge.

http://www.alligator.org/pt2/050901charge.php

Quote

Florida Statute 501.0117 states a seller "may not impose a surcharge on the buyer or lessee for electing to use a credit card in lieu of payment by cash, check or similar means, if the seller or lessor accepts payment by credit card."

THE LAW ON SURCHARGES

States that have outlawed surcharges for using a credit card:

Maine
Massachusetts
New York
Oklahoma

Q: A store charged me a $1.50 surcharge for paying with a credit card. They said it was their policy. Can they do that?

A: The law is a little confusing in this area. Massachusetts law prohibits sellers from adding a surcharge for using a credit card.

And on and on and on and on....

brophog · « **Reply #180 on:** November 29, 2005, 12:10:32 am »

No. Look at the original post for your misunderstanding. It says for Ponyboy to pass along the cost for using Paypal, not for using a credit card through paypal. That's the key difference in what I said versus what you are saying.

The equivalent for stores is adding a base cost to all merchandise to cover their merchant fees instead of simply charging for the convenience of using a credit card. But the end result for the consumer is the same as those companies are not merely eating that expense.

ponyboy · « **Reply #181 on:** November 29, 2005, 08:52:59 am »

I will keep this nice and simple. I will accept PayPal with no fees or surcharges and I will still keep my low pricing. The only time you will see an increase is when my suppliers increase their costs.

Thanks for your on going support.

I received my Wico grommets today, and thanks for the quick service.

They are the right size, and install perfectly. They do appear to be new, and the rubber is crack-free.

However, they also seem to be considerably more flexible than the ones I'm used too. I seem to recall RandyT mentioning that the company that made these originally made them in varying strengths- I wonder if these might not be a lighter grade than the ones that Wico originally installed.

I'm not sure yet if they are too flexible- I'll have to do some playtesting tomorrow.

Ok, I've done some investigating today. Results:

I opened up 7 different Wico arcade sticks, and one Command Control stick. The arcade sticks varied in condition from "rusted junk" to NOS. One user pointed out to me that the Wico grommets they had seen were silver, not bronze in color. Of the sticks I opened, only two were silver, one of which was the Command Control stick. The rest were bronze, the same as Ponyboy's. There were no consistent markings stamped into the rubber or elsewhere. All of the grommets were of the same approximate stiffness, except for the ones from Ponyboy, which are noticably softer.

I installed one of Ponyboy's in a stick and compared the feel to one of the arcade sticks that was in good condition. I could definately feel the difference, but the Ponyboy grommet worked fine- the stick just wasn't as stiff. I've actually seen some user comments to the effect that they think the Wico sticks were too stiff, so these grommets may be the answer for them. They're certainly better than an old, used grommet that feels uneven due to the cracks in the rubber. These do feel about as stiff as Wico sticks with a spring in their base, like most of the microswitch based Wico sticks do.

I would say these are a viable fix for a Wico with a torn/cracked grommet, but anybody planning to use them should replace the grommets in every Wico stick on their control panel at the same time if they want a consistent feel from stick to stick. They are not reccomended for players who like a really stiff feel to their Wico, but should be great for anybody who thinks that standard Wico's are too stiff, or prefers the feel of a "broken in" one. They're probably also a good match for anybody with spring-based Wicos.

Hope this helps future shoppers.

Wow! I see you're selling Sanwa buttons now! That's great! Is it a one-off or are you able to get some more?
If you can stock some of the 30mm, I know a LOT of people that would buy 'em at your price.

As for now I only have the 24 mm. Working on sticks and 30mm.
