Happened across this at a car boot today and despite having one myself I couldn't turn it down. Thought I'd offer it to Testies before braving EBAY with it I'm looking for £50 with free postage to the UK
Full disclosure since I have the ability to compare to my (relatively) new version: The stick is fairly stiff (tbh this is probably a plus, a foppy stick is a common X52 complaint)), the missile switch cover doesn't have the snap that it should have and the light doesn't always change from red to green (trivial, just an aesthetic thing).All of the axis work well, but the trottle HAT doesn't seem to read left directions, it's fine with up/down/right though, the big flat button on the joystick seems to be a bit loose, you have to press it square in the middle for it to read consistantly, if you press it softly at an angle it'll flicker on/off. There are no suckers that are normally used to affix it to a desk. The first time I plugged it in the lights on the Throttle didn't come on correctly, but when I plugged it in the second time for photos that worked fine, I can easily imagine that my PC was a bit confused for having 2 of the same HOTAS plugged into it.
Other than that, and the fact that it's drty, the stick is in good condition, all the other buttons are working fine and I can recommend the stick from personal experience.
Let me know if you want to see more pices/have any questions.
