Am I missing something here?

Why would someone bid up one Atari joystick to $15??

 

Man, if people are this stupid, I have a box of joysticks in the basement to sell... Unless, of course, that there is a big shortage of joysticks that I just didn't know about

Not really, for some strange reason they always seem to go up in price.

If I wasn't so attached to my Atari gear, I could probally make a killing of clueless people on eBay. Rare Atari 2600 joystick for sale -- starting big $20

If you were some cheesy artist you could just sign your joysticks :wink:

I find that alot of the ones I pick up are broken. Probably close to 75% or more of the first party ones. Usually the third party stuff works better. But it could be people pulling out the old Atari, finding out their original's aren't working anymore, so $15 for a replacement isn't really that bad. Or they bought one on ebay, and it's controllers were broken. Although in this case the seller is auctioning this one off as as/is, so they could be spending $15 for another broke one.

Looks like someone is trying it cheaper.
