Anyone interested in a Thrustmaster Warthog Stick?

Hi folks,
I'm looking for the best HOTAS throttle out there to go with my microsoft sidewinder ffb2 stick. And the best throttle for my needs seems to be the warthog.

As I can't buy the warthog throttle alone, I thought I could buy the combo and pass on the stick to one of you guys. That is if any of you actually wants the stick only.

So...any takers?

How much for the stick?

Where is it located? The warthog is a heavy bit of kit, shipping could get expensive.

I'd sell the stick for roughly half the price of the full combo, so around 150 €, give or take.

I'm located in Munich, Germany. Shipping inside the EU is not very expensive.

It's on ebay now:

I didn't even bother to open the box housing the shiny new stick.
I grabbed the cool throttles and use them together with my MSFFB2 stick, CH pro pedals and trackIR. I do think those are the best HOTAS throttles out there. The feel of those buttons is fantastic. As a real-life glider pilot I wish we had such cool controls in our gliders.
The combination of throttles and target software is amazing. I can create different profiles for different planes (e.g. single-engine vs two-engines) or server settings (fullreal vs open pit). Now i hardly ever need the keyboard while flightsimming. Heck i can even control windows and programs with the throttles.

S!
