ZipStick

cosmicfrog · 27 February 2010, 00:54

right my bit for this community, I have 4 Zipstick joysticks that I don`t need

thinking £1 + post and packaging

not had chance to test them yet but they click in all four directions
one dos`t have any suckers on the base

I`ll post more info, but my A4000 is in bits at moment and can`t think of anything else to test them with, now if I only had a game cart for the C64

fitzsteve · 27 February 2010, 00:57

Can I take one?

I'll give you back some of the money you sent me today lol!

Let me know what the total including P&P is

Steve.

PowerPie5000 · 27 February 2010, 01:20

I'm interested in one of those too... with the rubber suckers

please let me know what the p&p is. Cheers, Dan

great now have you got any ideas as how I`m going to wrap them up for posting ?

edit also how do I find out about price for post and packaging

guess I`m a bit new to this

asm1 · 27 February 2010, 01:52

Can I have one as well

wif teh suckers please

So I can have one for my Atari Falcon as well as my A1200....

Oops I said the A word... what I meant to say was "For some 2 player sensi goodness" IF er I mean when I get my A1200 going.

(I only want one, I already have one, I want a second

just to avoid confusion

)

As for posting... Jiffy bag ? seems about the sensible way otherwise you'd have to box em which is a pain in the bum.

Visit your local supermarket and look for some empty boxes the right size, then wrap the boxes in brown paper saved from parcels you have previously received yourself.

Go to the Royal Mail's pricing webpage:
http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/p...diaId=93800749
and download the Inland and International postage prices wallcharts (PDF)

cosmicfrog · 27 February 2010, 01:59

ok thats 3 gone and 1 left with out the suckers

sussed the packing, use old cearal box and Micro mart

no idea on postage till I send them, so I`m going to trust you all and send them then you can send me the money after, that sound ok ??

Thanks

Andrew

humm package might not be as roubust as I first thought so will look for something else tommorow

out of interest how much are we willing to spend on postage ? £2-£3 sounds reasonable to me , but I rather they reach you in 1 piece

cosmicfrog · 27 February 2010, 02:25

looks like I`ll only be sending yours out tomorrow at this rate asm1

asm1 · 27 February 2010, 02:41

hehe

as long as postage isn't scary its np £3 or so is fine by me

cosmicfrog · 27 February 2010, 03:14

great just as long as I know how much not to spend

BuZz · 27 February 2010, 03:23

i want a pink zipstick to match my nails. where can i get one!

cosmicfrog · 27 February 2010, 03:44

sorry I haven`t got one of those, though I have got some clear nail varnish

BuZz · 27 February 2010, 03:49

OMG. you are a genius! :-) heh..

In all seriousness (not really) the zip stick was for girls, and men used a powerplay cruiser. In pink if you could get it ;-)

asm1 · 27 February 2010, 03:52

No whats for girls is the "NEW" Competition pro thats being sold. Can't warm to it at all

BuZz · 27 February 2010, 04:18

is that a new competition pro for the 9 pin socket or the USB one ive heard of ?

I personally have USB on my amiga, with some usb hubs, with 74 joysticks connected at the same time! oh and and a gigabit ethernet adapter, and a mouse. But I wouldn't spend £100 on the usb adapter just for the ethernet, because that would be crazy! the joysticks!

clueless · 27 February 2010, 10:05
