Small run of new Atari 720 joysticks

WTF people? My Name is Greg. I have a background in aerospace. I make shit. I overnighted some parts so I'd get some immediate feedback. This isn't the welcome I expected for kicking my ass day and night! I am not scam controls! If you don't want me making parts, that's cool. But I stand by my work as anyone who buys from me will attest to.

I think you should take this as a compliment?

You did such good work that they thought yours were NOS.

People got afraid?
 
I don't get it. I have a thick skin, so I can take it. But this is BS. I do like that they think the controllers might be NOS. You know what they say about good deeds.

Sorry bud. Just doesn't add up. I realize anyone can be in that pic too. If you are an honest man, you will completely understand the apprehension here.

Some are crowing about guilty until proven innocent well, thats just too bad. We were scammed for tens of thousands of dollars and that burn will never go away.

I am just a little man here, but you have my backing brother!
 
I can understand the apprehension, but don't hang me dude. I'm not out to stick anyone. Let each and every transaction I have here speak for itself. Labeling me possibly ram controls is way messed up.

Perhaps it is, however, I will not let this happen to this community again.

I back this guy too. He seems legit to me.

Lets hope for the sake of the community, he is.

Please just let MY actions speak for themselves, guys. I get everyone being sensitized to ram controls bs and wanting to steer clear of it/them/he/whatever. I have nothing to do with them or phineas foo/3darcadegames either. I can see that some of my interests may fall in place with what they were doing. I've got nothing to do with any of them. I won't take it personally if you don't want me here or selling here, but it would suck when I was just getting started. I dare anyone to say that I have not followed through on a single deal I've made here. Anyone? GREG
 
Tombo. Watch me closely and let my dealings speak for me.

And to the rest of you. I won't let you guys down. I put up when it comes to making parts. You got a problem? I'll fix it! And the low blows suck! There's no chinese crap coming from here! Yeah, so I'm eating it on this first run of parts. I have to start somewhere. I need people to see the quality of my goods.
 
Hey Greg. If you are really familiar with the RAM Controls fiasco then you should understand the apprehension. If you are legit (and I certainly hope you are) then just keep on doing what you're doing and everyone will be happy. Providing a real identity that can be verified is in your own best interest. You don't want to become associated with Adam Judd, Dave Adams, Dan Johnson, Jim Bloomquist, Errol Mihalik, etc.
 
I would hate to see a guy with great products pushed away over some other d bags that screwed the community over. I think this seller needs a fair chance.

Hello Greg,

I'm an outsider reading this situation and hope you are not a scammer or tied to RAM in any way. With that said, I do have a couple suggestions that may help you to convince all of your status. You gotta understand that people are going to be skeptical as you have only been on this forum for 6 days and offering items that were previously only available from RAM (as I recall). My suggestion(s) would be this:

1. Provide other local KLOV members (that maybe even Tombo can approve of) the ability to come and check out your facility and operations - basically vouch that you're legit.

2. Any business license/verification of who you are. This can be done in private to a moderator like Tombo to verify who you are as well.

I'm in the manufacturing business myself and deal a fair amount with injection molded parts as well as other CNC parts. Those appear to be very nice quality and would love to see your equipment, even some video footage of the process would be awesome for you to provide :)

Anyway - hope this all works out, and I'd have a few parts I may want to get myself....

So interesting...

It walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, so I know what I think... all of it seems too good to be true. The most likely scenario is that it IS the RAM controls guy and he's looking for a way to make money (probably legitimately) from the leftover parts from the shambles of his old business. If so he'd likely make good on all his orders (limited run, remember), but you'd be buying from someone with "blood" on his hands, so to speak. An interesting moral dilemma; how bad do you want those parts? Seems awfully cheap for a limited run (unless you already had the parts lying around)....

I hope I'm wrong, though... And really, what do I know; I'm just some guy on the Internet... Do what you will!
 
I don't know what to think... I do know that this is the first time ever that I'm glad I don't own a 720...
