WTS: 2 Byrdo Sticks!!

<< < (3/5) > >>

riddick:
Listen guys, I didn't mean to offend anyone here? I too have also built my own arcade sticks, and have worked on a few cabinet projects(this site is great). I am simply posting this here to see if anyone is interested, as well as another forum. If your not interested, thats fine. Like I said, people pay MUCH more for his work, not to mention there is often times a waiting list.
@hoopz, I understand value/options/choice, there simply are not that many people who possess the skill's/patience required to make sticks as nice this. It's really that simple. You guys understand the cost of the hardware, here is a rough estimate.

JLf - $25
6 seimitsu's - $24
3 24mm seimitsu's - $9
aluminum top and bottom plate - $25
360 pcb - $25
multi cthulhu - $35
curly maple - $30
Total =  $173

Then what, roughly 10-12 hours in labor? How much is 10-12 hours of your time worth to you?? and like i said, it's not just about the cost of the materials/labor, but the quality of the stick. I realize most people here prefer to build themselves(which is great), but thought maybe someone might be interested in a nice custom as well. I guess I will stick to the other forum from now on.

You realize this is a "Build Your Own Arcade Controls" forum, right?
Granted, it's nice craftsmanship you got there, but most of the people here enjoy the "journey" as well as the outcome.

Sure the time is money equation can be applied here, but 10-12 hours of work is valued highly by most of us from a much less lazy stand-point.

If I were considering buying a nicely made stick, I would just get myself a TE stick for half the price...

Don't let us ruffians deject you. :lol All we're trying to say is that this is a forum of people that like to build the stuff themselves. If you realized the spirit of this forum, than you would probably have thought twice. (now watch the buyer be a BYOAC member...this would be a foot-in-mouth moment for sure...)

I mean, to me, an item that I've built has waaaay more sentimental value, whether the quality is good or not, than anything I'd buy.

Hey opt2not,

I appreciate the response. Yes I agree, the reason I'm actually selling it is because I have too many sticks!!!!! I've built quite a few, and am currently building more. I can appreciate the 10-12 hour journey of the build, but again, it's just an option to see if people are interested that's all.

The Ragna stick is now sold (no, not from a BYOAC member, from another forum :) but the bamboo stick remains available. Oh, and that price includes USPS priority shipment.

djfunkshun:
Did you put these up on SRK?

kowal:

on custom the traces of using are visible after month.
second hand/used custom stick = cut 50-75% price
and next point - never buy used japan parts, never.
