I just found a complete, in-the-box, Tandy Joystick at a local thrift store for $5. I don't own a Tandy myself, nor does anyone I know, so I didn't pick it up. But when I got home, I thought about it and thought that maybe I could make a few $ on Ebay selling it. I couldn't find any listings for one on Amazon, and no Buy It Nows on em on EBay to get an idea.
Anyone know anything about them? Are they collectible at all? Or is it just not worth my time?

Looking at my console computer listing, this one not part of the collection, Gaaah I have a lot of computers from that era.
For five bucks, why not buy it? It has pots inside like the Apple II+, Atari 5200, Vectrex and even the PC. Potentiometers probably have a different scale, but I did get two Apple II+ controllers to work on my Vectrex.

Re: Tandy Joystick
I found one of these at Goodwill along with a complete copy of Lightspeed for the Tandy 1000 for $1 each. The top is caved in some and a previous owner had written a price on it, but it's complete and in good shape other than that. For the price I was very satisfied with it.
