My Joystick came!
« on: July 08, 2012, 10:06:11 PM »


After 2 months, it's finally here.  And I REALLY Should have taken Super Deadite's advice and asked them to ditch the games.  There are way more than I thought, and it takes up maybe 50% of the total weight or more.

Still, this whole buying-from-a-proxy has been an educating experience.

Well if you ever buy a PC-98 you'll have a good assortment of Flight Sims to play on it. XD

No Customs this time, it tends to happen with recorded items - if you send SAL or unrecorded etc they don't seem to bother as much.  But yeah, I did pay alot to ship some junk halfway around the world.  What a noob.

Nice stick :@)

You don't have to tell me about postage costs.   I am in the UK and normally when I import stuff the postage normally accounts for quite a percentage of the total cost :-( However generally it still works out cheaper than paying UK Ebay prices :@)

I WANT.

Seriously. I want that. Now.

Please feel free to keep the box and send the stick +PCE adapter to me. I will gladly pay all shipping charges to New Jersey.
