Looks cool -- somebody else has to sell them... anyone?

I swear, I need to find wholesales for stuff like this so I can stock them in the store.
If anyone know of sources for this or other good retro gaming products lemme know -- I'd like to ramp the store back up and expand soon.

I'd buy extra controllers from you, but please, don't sell any of that Yobo stuff, at least not their knock off controllers.

I missed out on getting a saturn ram cart- so if you ever got those back in, i'd pick one up.
Another idea to expand the store would be to try to become a dealer of happ or swana arcade parts. Just a thought

I don't really want to make a dealextreme is good/not good thread...but since I have done a lot of business with them I think it is fair to give a different opinion.

I have ordered at least 50 times from them and on 2 occasions have had to return an item. On both of those occasions they had me ship the item to a return center here in Florida and reimbursed me (albeit in store credit) for the return shipping. Shipping time can be bad and I just go ahead and expect that it will be, so that part doesn't really bother me. If you have to get it quickly then I agree you will want to go elsewhere. The thing that bothers me the most is when the price of something drops before I even receive it.

This has been my experience with shipping times (roughly)

25% - 10-14 days
50% - 20-30 days
25% - More than 30 days, the most I have experienced personally is around 40 days.

Anyway, this isn't an endorsement for dealextreme..I didn't link to them as a referrer or anything else so it doesn't make any difference to me. At $10 it isn't much of a risk for the pad, and I don't see it anywhere else at a comparable price.

If I do happen to find another source outside of china for them I will post it.

How would one get ahold of said parts from a wholesaler?
