Is this Hong Kong shop reliable?

Post by my_name_is_link »

I'd want to purchase something they sell... but since this is not a famous shop I wonder if they are 100% reliable.
So I'm asking that here, hoping to get help: are they?
They don't accept PayPal payments...

I've bought Dreamcast equipment from them before. A few years ago now, but to be sure always ask if items are in-stock before ordering. The site isn't updated thoroughly meaning sometimes items are not there. Prices too can be out of date, so emailing in advance is the best bet.

Otherwise, I had no issues over two seperate orders.

Way back around 2003 or so I got some things from them. I probably overpaid a bit (or a lot?) on some things, but I've got a nice boxed and new Sharp Twin Famicom along with some other things. How often do you see those, y'know? Edit: Actually, I recall now that it took a while, and I didn't get the exact model I was hoping for - though still was very nice. Confirm they have exactly what you're looking at in their menu before you put down your money.

Basically, I need to know about the best way to get this:

So you can make suggestion about where to buy it ;)
I mean, who sells it cheaper ---

No affiliation to myself. Not a bad price for a Hori stick, and free S&H too. Less than half of what Toys N Joys is asking--stay away from them, by the way. I didn't think they were still around, but several years back they were the place to avoid because of their ridiculous prices and decidedly dodgy service.

Shipping from that seller is 50$ to Italy, lol. Honestly, shipping costs for such controllers are painful :|
