Just to let you know Sanwa doesn't make black buttons only black balltops (don't ask me why...it makes no sense to me). So if you want Japanese style black buttons then you'll have to go Seimitsu. The only place I know who sells Seimitsu parts is Akihabara Shop or if you have a Japanese address or friend then you can order directly from Seimitsu.
Also, I do make custom sticks (Sanwa/Seimitsu parts, 6 button Japanes layout, PS1 DualShock). I'm not sure if you're looking for used or new though. If you're looking for used, I can't help you. The way I build sticks is different than 95% of the people out there since I build the stick out of a solid block of material (either MDF boards that are joined into a solid block or an actual solid block of wood). I route out the necessary areas and shape the case. I also use metal plates to mount the buttons and a metal plate for a bottom cover. So I could kind of kill two birds with one stone by making you a stick with Seimitsu parts. Here's a link to my album so you can see:

The finkle album is a stick build from a case a friend of mine built and I modded it with parts and stuff so that's not very relevant. The other albums show my sticks that I've made/sold with work in progress photos so my customers can see the progress. It'll also give you an idea of how it's constructed. The only stick I currently have is the "Green" stick in the "Useful Photos" ablum. I just made that last week just for kicks. It's pretty boring though compared to my normal design. Anyway, this info might be pointless so I'll stop there. If you're interested just PM me. Hopefully, some part of this was remotely helpful for you. Take care.

P.S. I'm making a parts order at the end of the week since I need parts for some stick orders. If you're interested in a stick, I would suggest getting in on this order since I am splitting the S&H costs between everyone in the order evenly and it might be a while before I order again.

Paik4Life,
Im only able to trade at the moment, I might be looking to buy sometime in the future though but Id be wanting a different design than those (interesting though, are the tops/faces to the Finkle sticks metal also?)
thanks
SithMaster:
what cards do you have?

o-o, that's cool. The finkle isn't my own stick. It's a case that I modded. The case was made by a guy that goes by finkle on the SRK boards. Very nice guy and a pleasure to work with. His cases are all metal and very sturdy. The others are mine. They are made of either MDF or cherry blocks. The only exception is the stainable case I'm working on which is a hybrid of MDF and cherry. Anyway, best of luck with trading and such!
