Im saying wait until the facts are in before you make an enemy of him. I agree its seems way to good to be true. Tombo's on it and we will see how it plays out. I cant hang a man without hearing the whole case.
Not trying to hang the guy, just be super cautious. Look at the timing on these posts:

"I like a solid challenge. The 720 stick took me awhile but I managed to do it. Ok, it was only a single controller, but I could pump out a few more if people wanted them."

"Alright, here's what's going on as far as parts go:

Logo stick upper housing: Cutting mold, going to run them this week.
720/Hall-Effect stick lower housing: Cutting mold, going to run them this week.
Logo stick lower housing: Interest is somewhat low. Machining a few of them.

"The remainder of the parts I needed to start the assembly process finished up today. This was much earlier than I expected. So with parts in hand I jumped right into it. Attached you will see nine scratch built "reproduction" Atari 720 joysticks. They are 100% reproduction and not OEM. They are a drop in replacement for OEM and all parts are interchangeable. The joysticks are tested/calibrated and properly lubricated. I have enough complete sets of parts for a few more joysticks. I wanted to stop here, take a break and show pictures of my progress for those who were interested. This is a very limited run. Enjoy!"
Again just seems awfully fast.
