Japanese Arcade Stick

[db]

Hey, everyone! I was told that only the Japanese arcade stick is worth messing with, yet I rarely see them and when I do they're like this: www.ebay.ca/itm/Sega-Mega-Drive-ARCADE-POWER-STICK-JAPAN-MD-Controller-Work-fully-/171642910424?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27f6b6f6d8 A little steep. Anyone know if they can ever be had cheaper? If so, where??

Yeah, that's the BIN price rage I typically see. You'll just have to watch and wait until an auction comes up. Or occasionally some Japanese sellers will entertain offers. I wanted a microswitch joystick called the XE-1 ST2 and I reckon it was almost two years before I spotted a really nice deal.

Also, watch out for this kind of hoo-ha... this joker has got a Genesis arcade stick for sale with a Japanese MD arcade stick box. www.ebay.com/itm/MEGADRIVE-ARCADE-POWER-STICK-SEGA-GENESIS-CON-SCATOLA-BOXED-WORKING-/261697107919?pt=Retrogames_e_Retroconsole&hash=item3cee5cf7cf

Watch for loose ones that are just listed the same as the standard US/PAL ones. Only go for the Japanese one though, microswitched joystick is the only way to go.

Don't pay BIN prices. £20ish should be doable but they're not common.
