Update.
So,
@MickyMac brought it to my attention that
Arcade Art Shop did in fact have a small amount of NOS Monkey Ball restrictor discs available for purchase.
I contacted Olly there (perhaps also a member here?) to see what the deal there was and if any more stock is available.
Answer is that he is expecting another 30pcs to arrive in December. (I have asked to reserve all 30 at present).
So, I currently see 3 options...
- Plan to repo regardless, everyone decided if they want that or NOS
- Cancel repo plans and leave everyone to order from AAS
- Sort out some sort of group buy
After speaking with
@plasticfactory he has offered to receive stock in the case of a group buy, therefore have an og part in hand for repo'ing where necessary and fulfil orders to the US...
I would like to avoid this becoming overly complicated, so I will just be open, offer this as a solution and ask for feedback here.
Some additional thoughts:
1x restrictor disc is £15, plus £12 or £26 tracked airmail to the US (depends if I add the
Round Cover, or a different item to the basket...).
AAS actually have several Monkey Ball joystick parts in stock that may also be of interest to buyers?
Non-US buyers... (Myself included)
Not forgotten - sure we can split and handle those as well.
So. Thoughts on how to proceed? Please let me know.
