Tell me weather I should buy this or not. This guy has got a good rating, and he said the only thing missing is the suction cups.

I'd be a bit leery.  First off, there's no real good description if this includes the JS AND Throttle, or if it's just the JS.

Also, X52's (while in my opinion a fine joystick) tend to be a bit flaky.  I've heard of too many complain about problems right out of the box.  It seems that if you get a good one it works fine during its life, but I've heard of too many LED's not working, or intermittent connection problems, jumpy rudder POT, etc.. etc..

With something like this, you never really know until it's too late.

The starting bid might only be $10, but by the time bidding gets higher in 7 days, it might be approaching the price of a refurbished unit that comes with a factory warranty!  You can find this usually for $70-80 if you look hard enough for it.

I dont bid on stuff on ebay until its down to hours get an idea what the price is like.

Contact the seller & see if he is selling the complete system or just the Joy stick.  Also check if there is any warranty/dissatisfaction return time on it.  I had a X52 & sold it on EBAY but this is not that unit.  The X52 can be a little flaky at times.  I went the CH route.  Combat stick, Pro Throttle & Pro Pedals.  Check Siatek for the price on a factory refurbished unit, or the best option on Siatek to to go to Best Buy & get an extended warrant & when problems arise exercise the warranty.

If the price stays below 50 and the throttle is included, it might be worth it.  I have no problem with mine.

Just sent him an Email about if it comes with everything, no we will just wait and see.
