REALLY small, TINY, full range analog sticks GROUP BUY!

[palmertech]

These are joystick replacements for a tapwave Zodiac. These NEVER pop up, mostly because the demand is so low for them. They are full range tilt joysticks, like a GC or PS2 stick, but WAY smaller. See that cap that looms large over the Potentiometer assemble? The CAP top is about the size of a US penny! They are grippy, very comfortable, and that color will fit into almost any portable.

I just sent a message, I am negotiating for a group buy, there is NO way he can sell all of those caps to the 10 people in the whole world with a Zodiac with a busted joystick. Anybody clumsy enough to break one THROUGH the all metal case is probably not going to be able to solder these in, anyways.

So, who is interested at all, and at what price? I bet the more we buy, the cheaper they can be! And I sure do not want to spend $20 for just one.

How many individual joysticks are included for that $10 price?

Looks to be only one


Seeing as how it's $20 shipped for ONE of these things, if we can get it under $10 shipped for one, I'd get a couple.
But don't count me in unless we get a few more people.

Yeah, the shipping is what really kills it.

I am shooting for $3-5 each, with $10 shipping for the bunch (All those would easily fit in a flat rate box.)

[schmellyfart]

Im interested only if the price does way down.

Those shipping charges are outraegous! You could eaisly fit a bunch of those in a smaller flat rate box thats only $5 to ship

Why not report the listing to e-Bay? Excessive shipping is against their listing policy, and they can make him lower his shipping price.

I'd be interested if lower price.

I would'nt mind one or two of them-if the shipping went down.
only problem though-the plastic top looks the same size as the analog stick
wouldnt it have to be positioned on the outside??

I suppose you could make your own or borrow one from something else if the size of the cap, itself is an issue.

It isn't hard to retrofit joystick caps too different pins. Epoxy will do it.

[neverused]

I just sent the seller a question about how many he is selling and if he has a bulk rate for them.

What is your possible problem? I am having trouble understanding.

Just cut a hole, and put it underneath. Check pics of a tapwave Zodiac for an example.

[palmertech]

Double post, oh well.

Lulz, he answered YOUR question, but ignored mine. Come on, what did I do wrong?

Has the listing ended?

[Triton]

i would be interested if the price gets below 2$ each
