Vday Present? You Need 161 Joysticks!

- My occasional eBay trawling finds some classic auctions, and this must be one of the weirdest for a long time - a collection of 161 joysticks for Amiga, Atari, Commodore, and probably some other systems, too. I'm not sure if it's an industrial design lesson or just OCD at work, but here they are!

Starting bid is $999, but hey: "Shipping to Europe will be around $300... Shipping to USA/CANADA etc. will be around $400. They are all in very good condition and most of them should work. Add these beauties to your collection or start one yourself. There are joysticks in all the boxes." Thank God for that!

[While we're talking about Joysticks - Matt Hawkins was devastated to find out that Destructoid reviewed the '80s movie Joysticks ahead of him for his Cinema Pixeldiso column for GSW. Curse you, Destructoidies! We will get you back with an even more obscure movie review soon.]
