OK, I try to always be as consequent as I can SO I say it when I don't like something but also when I do.
So in all fairness.....
Couple of weeks ago I was browsing through ebay.de and I come across original NIB Wico joysticks for about €10 each BIN.
Finding these is already pretty hard, esp. in Europe but this also was an incredible price.
I need two good joysticks for my Joust cab and I figured I should be able to get these in there (which would make playing Robotron brilliant !)
So I clicked buy it now right away and ordered 2 of them...
Only after I did that I saw that the seller was Stephan. I figured....well if things don't turn up, it wouldn't break the bank so I took my chance....
And well, it just went without any problem. I paid, and received them within a couple of days and they were indeed brand new original Wico's still unassembled in their boxes.
