    I'm currently trying to get my hands on an ACE-EDGE controller.
    (Or a Flight Stick EX, but ACE-EDGE is preferred.)

    Along with a pair of Fighting Stick EX2 controllers (Also known as the Virtua Fighter 5 - Live Arena Stick), preferably boxed.


    I don't need/want the copy of Ace Combat 6 that comes bundled with the ACE-EDGE, but I'd prefer everything else to be included (Faceplate + box + packaging plastic and/or whatever that is in the box).


    Looking at Ebay, the ACE-EDGE fetches a price of anything between $120~$300 (+s&h and AC6), depending on the weather.

    And the Fighting Stick EX2 gets listed as low as for $40 BIN new.
    (In Webstores the Fighting Stick goes for between $60~$80)


    Judging from YJ!, the Flight Stick EX usually gets listed at about $100, but doesn't always sell.

    The Fighting Stick EX2 seems to go for between $40~$70 on Yahoo Japan, but doesn't always sell (especially if listed at 80 or higher).



    Anyway, if you happen to have one (for sale or not), I'd like to have a few questions answered before I take on any possible offers.



    1:
    -If plugged into a PC, what does it get recognized as? (And does it get drivers somehow so the input works?)

    2:
    -If signed in as player one, does the input from it work on the Dashboard? (Switching between tabs, browsing menus, etc...)

    3:
    -If signed in as player one, do other games treat it as a regular controller? (The Guitar Hero II and III controllers behave like very limited normal controllers when signed in and can be "played with".)


    But yeah, if you're considering getting rid of one or more of the controllers I need, let me know what price you'd want for w/shipping to Norway/Europe via regular mail (USPS, UK Royal Mail, registered, ems or whatever) and no delivery companies like FedEx/UPS/DHL.
    (If you want to know why I say NO to those: they do their own shitty customs clearance of stuff, they charge extra fees upon delivery, they often don't allow others to sign for me and they tend to be total and complete assholes when they realize that they're trying to deliver a package to the home address of a guy who lives far out in the middle of nowhere/farm country and happens to be somewhere else on the planet at the moment.)



    Anyway,
    I'm not in a hurry with these right now. So I shall keep on stalking Ebay and Yahoo Japan just to monitor the price flow and see if I can strike a great deal there.

    I'd actually prefer it if I could get things at a total price of about $200~$250 + shipping on top of that. Ofcourse, I'm not expecting one seller to have it all, that'd be wishfull thinking. (And no, I wont accept a US copy of Ace Combat 6, unless you for some reason give it to me totally free of charge without it having anything to say on the price for the controller.)

    So... these are the preferred prices, though, feel free to propose a different price. It's all about what my total amount of expenses will be anyway ;D

    ACE-EDGE (Boxed - Required) - $100~150
    (Less if Flight Stick EX version)

    Fighting Stick EX2 - $30~$50
    (Don't care which version, as long as it's in perfectly good shape and preferably boxed.)


    Note: May accept trades, even though I probably don't have anything to trade for (or that I'm willing to trade for), but sure speak up! Maybe I could go through the trouble of acquiring "it" for you or something, if resources prevents you from doing so yourself.
