I spent the last two weeks monitoring "Ace Edge" auctions on Ebay and finally purchased one at a great deal. Seeing as we are all on the same team here I figured I would post some helpful tips.

Tip 1- Use different key word combination's to ensure you get all current auctions that are available. Don't just rely on "Ace Edge" to find them all
- some examples would be "flight stick controller 360" "flight control stick xbox 360" "Ace Combat 6 xbox 360 and controller"

Tip 2- Read the WHOLE auction. One auction I was really excited about was missing the cables for the controllers... that wasn't mentioned until the very end after about a page of blank space. Another said it was for Xbox 360, but the picture showed the Playstation 2 model

Tip 3- Check often. I saw a number of one day auctions that came and went

Tip 4- Buy it with the game if you can. You can sell it on Ebay or whatever and defer the cost a bit

and finally

Tip 5-BUY ONE ASAP! Word is getting out and the prices are going up. When I first was checking them out a awhile back, I remember seeing one go for around $60 (just the controller and used, but still ten bucks more then an Avi8tor...)

Hope this helps, and good luck!
