If it went for that price, even I would buy it.

Unfortunately, the few times that I did pay attention to something on ebay, the prices went up to (or over) full retail price.



But I am interested in this Interact xccellerator joystick gamepad flight simulator controller rare vintage.

It really is a VERY rare flight sim controller. :lol:

Sorry Paul, it's a rare vintage flight simulator controller.

It says so, right there on ebay.

You must be too young to remember those. :lol:

I was saving my money for a Sinclair ZX81.

Before I could save enough, a new machine came out - the Timex Sinclair 1500. It was less than half the price AND HAD 16K OF RAM! :shock:

The money that I saved let me buy a cassette recorder to save/load programs on to it

Yep, I remember saving programs to a cassette drive. Two to 3 minutes if I recall. :D


But it was a real computer. :D

That is a Flight sim set up?
With a Clutch and a handbrake and a twist throttle ?
I have been using MS flight sim since it's infancy and have never seen any flight control system like that
