DigDug Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 Where can I buy new or used joysticks cheaply in bulk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Atarian Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 Sorry to ask, but is this so you can turn around and re-sell them on ebay for the lately going price of like $10 each? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 I was thinking the same thing. Collectors don't ask to get items that cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari Rescue Group Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Good luck finding joysticks in bulk for cheap. The best place to find joysticks are in the wild. Look for them while looking for game cartridges. Isn't that what most everyone does? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbrad Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 I've got about 25 CX-40's that are broken I can let you have for 9.99 each. Heck, I'll spring for shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Now, now... I've got a bunch of jittery paddles, though, that I'll give away to someone who'll pay for the shipping and a little ol' handling fee... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buyatari Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 You can buy Sega joysticks in bulk very cheap and use those on the Atari. But those you may have trouble unloading on ebay for a profit. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 Whats wrong with buying and selling Atari stuff to support my cart collection habit? Its an addiction that I just cant cure Sorry but nothing ticks me off more than people who buy things in bulk and then turn around and inflate the price for more profits. I'd rather deal with the people here as I know that they won't turn around and sell what I trade them most of the time. The only carts I sell are carts that I have doubles of. I plan to post some here first before hauling them off to EBay in 3-4 weeks. I need a complete listing of everything first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 I must've come across 100s of joysticks in Goodwill alone over the past year. I usually pass unless they are 5200 controllers or unusual joysticks. Dude, do yourself a favor and establish yourself here first before trying to get bulk cheap and turn around and sell it on Epay for more.

MegaManFan Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 *points upward* What he said. If you need one or two for your own personal use though, that's different. When you're trying to buy in bulk though, you can't hardly have a good use for all of them yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
