good ebay deal (trackball)

<< < (3/3)

Well where did you find one for 40 bucks at?  Some of us live in Iowa, better known as the electronics wasteland.  It costs me more to buy anything in my area because I have to have it shipped in from somewhere else.  Buying things local is a joke.  Pass on some good websites!!!

(i.e. The local computer shops were charging $78 for an NVidia MX400 no name card, and I bought the MX440 card off of tiger direct for $35)

I bought mine on ebay several years back. The prices on them have steadily increased as more and more Mame cabs have started having trackballs.

It wasn't THAT long ago that anything other than an 8-way joystick on a Mame cabinet was unheard of. Back then it was just a bunch of 8-way cabinets, along with a few oddballs (I recall several machines with Compusa crystal trackballs sank into the panels, I had one too, A Pole Position with the controls hooked up to the mouse, and a Tron similarly hacked).

Less than a year-and-a-half ago, there were cases of 20 Imperial PS2 trackballs that went for less than $300 on ebay.  And my first several TBs were won for less than $30ea.  Prices definately are different today.

That just goes to show you how good some of the old games are compared to some of the new mindless dribble that comes out today.  Do you realize that they compare things like "Rayman" to Super Mario Bros???  Talk about a travesty!!!
