I'm selling a couple of control panels tonight. Here's what I get...

Nice. Thanks for allowing me pull them out and pack them up for you.

That sucks. I needed 4" for this Robotron I just finished. Sorry about that man, but I have tons of 3 1/2" and looking for 4".

p1001 said:
3-1/2"

dj dns said:
I forgot to ask if the are 3 1/2" or 4" shafts.

zip code?

dj dns said:
Yeah I'll take them.

$20 plus freight for the whole thing or any part of. I can ship the two joystick in a medium flat rate box for $10.70, maybe a bit less if I ship in a regular Priority Box depending on weight and your zip. You want them?

dj dns said:
I'm interested in the joysticks. How much for the 2 wico joysticks? Also do they feel tight or are they loose?
 
I don't know that it warrants calling him out in public. Yeah, it's an inconvenience. But I highly doubt he was trying to be a jerk. He made a mistake. It happens.
 
Wow was this that much of a problem for you? I did want/need them, but I needed 4" like I told you. I forgot to ask if they where 4" shaft, so I wanted to ask before it was to late. I'm not one of these tire kickers (sorry). I bought and sold plenty of things on here and anyone I dealt with can vouch for that. I don't see what is the big deal to have you advertise it It was $20 not $2000. I guess you never made a mistake Huh!
P.S. Willing to strip & ship. Yeah I didn't need another pair of 3 1/2" since I have a box of them as it is now. But it's not like you didn't have any thoughts of stripping the control panel. This is a stupid ass post. That's like someone telling me they want a pcb that I have to find and dig out. They then ask what version it is after the fact. Sorry I was looking for version so and so. So should I make a silly post saying this guy had me spend 15 minutes digging out a pcb and now he says he don't want it because it's the wrong version. This shit happens to me and others all the time. It's not the end of the world. If I didn't have so many of these size joysticks I would have just bought them to make you happy and not have you go through the agony your going through now. Wow again!

Little weird posting his identity. To both guys defense: this is just a silly, funny moment trying to buy/sell parts. I'm sure it happens to many KLOVers. A thousand emails go back and forth for an item that is listed for the cost of a cheeseburger, and in the end the deal falls thru. It makes both parties throw up their arms and just say, "fuck." or "I need a beer."

Keyword there. Sometimes simple details are overlooked or forgotten. You just move on. No hard feelings.

I think many of us are at our boiling points and we need to shut it down for awhile. I know I just had my manly period about a month or so ago. I get the point here and in case many of you don;t he was simply trying to sell something cheap and feel the hassle wasn't worth it and it looks like it wasn't a sale and then turned into a sale.
I wish I could convey how many times I've sent stupid shit to Rikitiki - it's stupid because I don;t know how to convey things properly but luckily he's fluent in Neanderthal. C'mon guys wait till you shit your anger bricks - you'll post less I assure you lol.
 
I think you need to burn a CheeseBurger Time cabinet. Torch it....it's the only way.

And put my name on it. Take lots of pics.

I had to read this a couple times before I could figure the problem out. But whos the real 'jerk' here if there is one to be had? I mean first of all, you didnt answer his first question about their tightness. Then second, he said whoops, sorry, I made a mistake. Then you were the one acting like the jerk in the end with the uncalled for remark about packing them up already. People make mistakes. We are arcade machine enthusiasts, we certainly arent firing on all cylinders all the time! :p
 
Ill vouch for business with DJ DNS. Usually very thorough in questioning but this one slipped away however definately not a tire kicker by any means. Now if he tried to move down your price after all that then i can understand calling him out but it was a simple version type mistake that everyone makes.

Do some research on DJ here and u will be surprised that his head is screwed on straight with all the stuff he has going on arcade wise!
 
Umm... I never pack anything up until I get a paypal email saying I have money. I don't think it was necessary trying to embarrass the guy over something trivial. By posting this, you've definitely made one person look like a jerk...

No need on calling someone out of a simple mistake like forgetting to ask shaft size. LOL

Gezzz... just ask any woman how many times this has happened

.


I can vouch for Djdns also, great guy. We did a deal last night...He had some stuff i wanted, and i had what he wanted.

Cant see calling him out in public though. There are situations were it warrents it though, like if a guy steals money, or the item is not what it was listed as, and the seller is not trying to make it right..

Everyone needs to relax, this is a HOBBY!!! Fun for all!!! Or at least for me it is, if i sell a game or buy a game.

Question #1 should have been "Are these 4" shafts?". C'mon... do you really think you can get a pair of Robo sticks for 20 bucks? Hans is a very generous guy, but he's no idiot.
I don't care how loose they are (the grommets can be totally rotted, and they don't even have to have any leaf switches), if anyone out there has a pair of original Robo sticks they'd like to sell me for $20 I've got money waiting for you.
