I was just checking out Kijiji and came across this http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-ViewAd?AdId=554542420

The seller is asking $45.
Is it worth that?
I can't find a price online to compare to.

This is the only one I was able to find on ebay

It looks like a neat setup. I don't really know anything about them though.

$30 - $35 these days. I really like the design as it's like you chopped the control panel off a candy cab. Problem is the quality doesn't follow the styling. The stick is a floaty square gate but isn't responsive like an arcade stick. The buttons are okay but again feel like mid/low quality fight stick buttons. It's difficult to mod with arcade standard parts due to how thin the housing is and the internal PCB is known to die on a whim. Also some games behave weird with this stick due to its unique PCB. (Menu system in Taito Legends being an example as it will skip 3-5 games when pressing left / right at the menu but works fine otherwise)

I wouldn't recommend it for fighting games but for a general use arcade stick for arcade compilation releases it's fine. The last one I picked up was $30 boxed and was the green / pink variety. If you buy it, also look into purchasing some controller extension cables as the cords are pretty short for something as massive as this.

I might pass on the joystick for now. The seller got a bunch of gb and gba games for sale ill go for those.
