I need some rudder pedals
« on: June 25, 2012, 01:55:22 AM »
Hi all
Recently my stick took a dump and no longer works, a squaddie gave me a CH flight stick and since I've always used twisty sticks I now need some pedals. I can only seem to locate new ones here in Oz and the cheapest is a set of CH for $165 plus freight. I don't really want to spend that much as I probably only log five or six hours a month at the moment. If anyone has a second hand set that they would be willing to box up and send over here for cheaper than that send me a PM. I figure freight would be about $50.
No thank you Turkish, I'm sweet enough.

Don't bet on that.  Someone from Europe wanted a joystick from my location in the US.  Minimum shipping (UPS) was $207 for a small box under five pounds.  :huh   I would sell you mine but they might cost $1,000 to ship.  :bhead

After Christmas there will be a lot of 'open box' electronics items for sale cheap.

I picked up my pedals this way for about 30 cents on the dollar. 

Typically electronics cannot be resold as new once the box is opened.  Once returned these items are relisted as open box items and sold by the same places that sell factory refurbished items.
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.
