: One local arcade supplier said he sold Super joysticks for $20 CDN, buttons for $3.00 CDN etc. etc. Screw that markup! I then called PacVend on their toll-free line but didn't get any price info.

The only thing is....well I forget what Happs sells supers for in US dollars but if it's something like $12, or even call it $10us, that would be about $15 canadian, PLUS shipping, PLUS getting shafted at the border for importing electronic/amusement goods....maybe the $20 canadian ordered domestic is better. When I bought a few Jamma boards from the US, I got nailed $25 at the border for importing video game parts...I only paid $40us before that extra fee so it was a hefty add-on tag.

When I bought a $375 oscilloscope last year from the US, I had to pay $125 on top of it at the border...(I accounted for that in my pricing though, it was all worth what I paid in total for what I got) but still...that's why it's hard for me to choose ordering direct from Happs as a first choice...
