sgtdave Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Could this help ? Quickshot 3 It would it were a couple thousand miles closer, and they didn't charge VAT. Unfortunately, between the shipping, VAT, and exchange rate it's creeping towards $50, which is about twice what I paid for my last one.

Swami Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Could this help ? Quickshot 3 I've seen this and thought about it. I don't know what the "D/L" could indicate and the lack of a picture makes me a little uneasy it may be something similar or weird. I've gotten mis-labelled things at least a half dozen times. I may try to contact them, but, yes, the price is a bit high. $25-$30 was top price a couple years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoTonah Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I've got one that I could sell. My wife has been bugging me to part with more stuff so this could count toward that. No idea what it is worth. I'm a reasonable guy, so tell me what you'd consider paying for it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoTonah Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 19.95?....plus shipping? Yeah, the shipping quote I got from Canada Post made me gag on my coffee. Almost $40. And the UPS site was f'd-up so I couldn't even get a quote (Win10 with Chrome and Firefox, tried on both)... I know, a first-world problem. Canada sucks in this regard, I must say!

All the shipping tripled from the early 2000s. I used to order a cart from a homebrewer in the states for 25 plus 5 or 6 for shipping now they ask for 15 or 20 for shipping or even more...

Swami Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I think its due to e-mail nearly eliminating the high profit letter postage. Fortunately for us, there is junk mail keeping them afloat...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtdave Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 If anyone has one in the Austin/San Antonio area I can pickup here. Or if you live in the Portland, OR area I will be there in a couple weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try posting in the "Want to Buy" section of the Marketplace. There may be more people looking to off-load some collectibles/inventory.

P.S., be wary of the used joystick ... it may need refurbishing to work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavvv Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 P.S., be wary of the used joystick ... it may need refurbishing to work well. Yeah of the 4 or 5 of them i own, they are a bit tough to maintain, and tricky to get back together correctly, but imho very worth it as they are the best CV option. Joystick with a base and one of each button usable by either hand. Gavv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
