I am a fan of Thrustmaster gear, been using various flavors for years,
and build a few of their sticks into sims over that time too...
Anyway, just bought a new-old-stock Thrustmaster Top Gun USB, basically
an old FCS, but USB.. and for this I paid the shocking sum of $1.50
Had to share... very happy :-)

Ebay is great. A couple years ago I got a Thrustmaster Top Gun gameport joystick (needed the very convincing B8 replica grip) for $0.99, plus $5 shipping. :)
It does depend on what you're shopping for.....I picked up the big Thrustmaster basic (no brakes) pedals years ago for $50 and felt like I paid too much...now they are fetching even more than that! But then I also got a Midwest Loran (and potentially, GPS) annunciator panel for $25......at all the online avionics shops I can find, it doesn't go for less than $600!!!! :-O

Isn't that the 85% sized B8 style grip?
