Title: Does this seem legit? Saitek X52
Post by: _AH_JimDandy on February 24, 2020, 04:07:49 AM
I need to get a new one before I dust off the cobwebs, found this looking for a good price on one.
Is this legit? What do you folks think?

That price certainly looks too good. I'd research that website if I were you.

Not much to go on there.

Is it new or used? It it USB or Serial port? Is that website some kind of overstock.com thing?

I would search eBay and "watch an item" and then eBay will find others just like it

CH products is another option.
Used fighter stick and pro throttle shouldn't be too much

~S~ Gentlemen....Mrs.Frag here. Maybe only 16$ but compromising your credit card or
financial information is a huge risk. I have bought enough online to spot a fishy
site when I see it. As a general rule of thumb, if it looks too good to be true.....guess what ?
Of course just my two cents   :happy-112:

Well said Mrs.Frag,
Going to stay away from it. No contact info, and no descriptions on merchandise.
Bad monkey place for sure I think.  (wavey)

Just remember that she also picked Mr. Fragg

Her judgement may have to be brought into question
