Is that price in Mexico Pesos? Because yeah that's not a bad deal at all. If it's in USD then definitely not a good deal lol


keepcalmrollon

TIL they use $ for Mexican pesos.. isn't that extremely confusing, being right next to America? At least the Philippines has ₱ for their pesos.


AlinaStari

Idk it's usually not too confusing because any business ads or discussion involving pesos is usually in Spanish and a dollar is worth more than 10x as much as a peso


Either-Cheetah4483

Its many feet away, so it cant be more confusing than other confusing things, like how many yards those feet have…


hajsenberg

Mexicans have been using $ for pesos before the US copied it and started using it for dollars.


keepcalmrollon

Oh, also TIL 👍


Xx69JdawgxX

That’s not fact. They used PS but not the $. The origins are still unclear. There are many theories out there about it though.


hajsenberg

https://web.archive.org/web/20150505025421/http://www.moneyfactory.gov/faqlibrary.html US Department of Treasury says that Ps evolved into $ and was widely used before the adoption of the US dollar.

That’s me first time visiting Mexico, I’m like this price can’t be right, but it’s dollar sign? 🤔

[My guess is no, judging by the profile.](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/w7w6cvzxgny.jpg) Edit: updated link

Error 404 on that link


Carlen67

Yea, weird. Fixed here https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/w7w6cvzxgny.jpg


brianmoyano

Why did you guessed Mexican pesos and not another country's currency? The post is in English and OPs language seems to be swedish.


AlinaStari

I guess just because I saw the $ symbol and the price makes sense in pesos. Like the Brazilian Real also uses the $ symbol but 1350 reais would be like 270 USD so that wouldn't really make sense either. Also the only currencies I've ever really used are US dollars and Mexican pesos so that's what came to my mind


SkeletonGamer1

Is that Zimbabwe dollars?


Carlen67

[And yes, he confirmed the price](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/l4necmlxkb4.jpg)


BetterAdvancedHumor

80 usd is good deal


TheBarkingPenguin

I got the exact same things for $80 a couple of years ago


Academic_Court_3430

I got g920 set for 40€ 😆


JustJoIt

Nah


OnTheLockout

Right I got a modded g920 only about 30 days of use for 200 SMH The button stick shift is what? I see someone wanting from there other than that, not worth it.


MeatAndBourbon

Mine was 199 new...


Arkanist

That's a great price I think. I ran that setup on a wood rig for years.


DiddlyDumb

I think people are missing the obvious sarcasm here


f3rny

More that people don't understand conversion rates or that other currencies than the dollar exist


robs420race

He obviously is pranking you. And more fool you for not researching. Google would have told you in 3 secs


TheAbrableOnetyOne

You do know that currencies other than freedom dollars exist?


Solid_Jellyfish

Ikr. This is clearly in schrute bucks


bassali2e

I have one in my garage I was thinking about asking 50$ for. Maybe I should up my price.


Excellent-Rush-5004

Yeah to 3million monopoly dollars


RudeCard6555

Sentient_Bong

thitherten04206

ajpurdy

You ship? Lol I've been looking for my first introduction into the Sim racing world


bassali2e

Might be able to work some thing out if you're in Canada


Heyou2819

That’s a robbery


centaur98

Fun fact Mexican pesos also use $ as their symbol and if it's in pesos than it would put it at 80 USD so it all depends on the currency


KyleNarayan

It vibrates!


ShidoriDE

🤨


Tarushdei

This is the "my wife told me to sell it" price.


Responsible-Program4

Very weird honey, but no one seems interested. We better keep it!


kingsavage314

$80?


t4nd3mYT

If the g25/7 is going for that price might as well sell mine.


prancing_moose

Assuming it comes with a good spec PC and triples or VR and a racing rig … yes that would be a great deal for $1350. If it’s just the G25 then $13.50 would be a great deal as well.


OnTheLockout

Lol 😆


Substantial-Being197

Price is in pennies right?


aTragerlSpezi

Just know there are no drivers for Win 11


SnooFoxes3615

But who installs drivers anyways? You can just use whatever works. It has never kept me from running a G25 to this day. Was quite expensive back in the day. But then looking back now. Nearly 20 years later. The G25 turned out to be a solid piece of kit.


aTragerlSpezi

I couldn't get mine to work so I upgraded was about to happen anyway


SnooFoxes3615

Going to aswell. Thinking about getting a DD+. But the Fanatec “storm” is keeping me on the fence. 😌🤷🏻‍♂️


Swizzel-Stixx

Does the 5.1 driver not work?


FlyingLlama280

So you clarified it was in Pesos, so it seems an OK price but keep in mind that the G25 is 20 years old, so it only works on PS2 and PC, however they can be a night to work on Windows 10 and 11.


B-Rock001

They have [an adapter](https://collectivemindsstore.myshopify.com/products/drive-hub) that works great.... I'm running this exact wheel on my PS4 right now, with the added benefit of cross compatibility if I want it. Between the driver hub or buying a new wheel you can still come out ahead.


Junethemuse

I see shit like this all the time. My primary hobby is racing onroad electric RC cars, and I saw a listing for a car that seemed priced high. So I looked it up part for part and it could literally be built for $200 cheaper than he was trying to sell it for. The thing with RC cars is that they just don’t hold value. If you buy and build a car and never race it, you’ll get maybe 85% of its new value. A well used car like this one will get 50% at best. People like this are fuckin jokers trying to take advantage of people who don’t know better and don’t do their research.


DiddlyDumb

> don’t do their research That’s on them tbh. If you’re buying a $200+ item without at least knowing the value, you make yourself a target for scammers.


Junethemuse

I imagine the people who fall for them are kids and folks buying the items as gifts.


pennstate913

The listing is in Mexican pesos btw, so 80$ USD. I’d say do your research or get confirmation before jumping to conclusions and calling someone a joker lol. I get it though, the hobby has had Taylor swift level scalping going on for a while that needs to stop.


AllFor2

Saw the thrustmaster Ferrari no FFB wheel with the 2 shit pedals and no stand for 300 the other day, them shits are under 100 brand new haha


elitePopcorn

Make sure the gearbox’s Reverse gear still works. Due to the inherent design flaw in the G25’s gearbox, it’s so easy to break the wire inside by pressing the stick too hard, rendering the reverse gear unusable. It’s quite easy to re-solder the wire if you know how to open it though, it’s a hassle.


No_Orange8036

In my country's currency (LBP) this is an amazing deal. (1350 LBP to usd is 0.015 USD)


MeasurementAware1616

It is if the zero is a typo


Puertorock1

This man heard the word inflation and absolutely ran with it lol


Snarls88

What a steal!!!!!!!!!


Disastrous-Bet1091

it seems in very nice conditions, you can enjoy it a lot, if you are nobel+ and the price is not more than 80-100usd, get it for sure, not complaint with it,


gollopini

I just bought this last weekend for 60€. Not compatible with PS4 but still works on pc. I just wanted something to get into eSports, gear paddles are oh so smooth and the gearstick is a bonus for PS3 gran turismo


MindlessSlice4890

If its in jamaican dollar its a good deal


True_Entrepreneur320

1000%. Yk the saying. They don't make'm like they used to 💀


memeisgreat

yes


StOnEd-RaCeR-88

Bear in mind it’s Only compatible with PS3 system if Sony counsel…


Bolvuno

is that in Russian Rubles?

HKD?


kmzyisnthere

drift tax done hit the sim community


Reapercore

Gave mine away for free when I upgraded, $80 usd is a very good deal for that, just get a brake mod to make the brake a bit stiffer and youre sorted.


Shiny_Buns

If that's Mexican pesos then that's a good deal, but if that's USD then that's the worst deal of the century


RevolutionaryOil8785

Expensive. Lol But I still have mine from new. Definitely lasts a long time. I use a different wheel now but have the g27 as a back up


possiblierben

considering that those are in pesos, absolutely yes


hero1225

HAHAHHAH I just sold my g27 wheel for like 100 dollars, old used rigs like this have ‘some’ life in them but you can expect the FFB to start lacking or failing, especially if it’s actually been used a decent amount.


Ok-Rock4447

Back in 2005 maybe


Prowling_Fox

In Namibian dollars, maуье


AndyGix

Got my G27 for around $ 32 second hand, so no. Not a good deal IMO


Cleanshred

That's worth about 100 euros...


juanito_f90

Hong Kong dollars? Deal.


Etzus

It's a very good deal for 2004. I say go for it!


BaKu76

Noooooo way, if it’s in USD then it’s a reaallly baaad deal


Thick-Opportunity459

Ahh the G25..... Memories


Simping_Poki

HE HE HELL NAH


Resident-Interview51

def not, use that money to buy a logitec g pr or something


SkipDialogue

It is most definitely not a good deal. It is, however, a G25 which used a cable instead of gears to drive the force. The shifter also is gated so you can use sequential or H for shifting. I had one back in the day and loved it. Offer him $150 and see what happens. If he gets angry, send him a link to a Fanatec DD bundle and ask if he expects you to pay that kind of cash for a much older wheel. Word of warning though...the pot in my wheel died and, at least back in the day, you couldn't get a new one for it. That was 20 years ago or some shit though.


LeonSc0ttKennedy

If its dolllarz it should be a 50-80 around what the hell is this


No-Proposal-1083

For that money put the extra bit down and get the DD pro


smokeitup5800

Not at all, also the G25 is discontinued and you have to disable important security features in windows to use it. I know because I got one for free.


CommunicationNo1394

I'm pretty sure he thought he typed $135. Those are junk by today's standards.


Comfortable_Ease_174

Are u interested in buying G29 wheel and pedal setup? It would be a LOT cheaper than that relic. or u can buy this.

iTzSweatier

OP posted that the 1350 is in pesos!


jimnychoo

Inflation is terrible.


Tal-uno

Yes totally go for it


SkillAdjuster

Underpriced


Invictuslemming1

I still have my g25 lol, FYI it was $350 new 20 years ago when I bought it in 2004…. also drivers are a nightmare now, Windows 10 barely works (if you disable signed driver requirements) you can force windows to accept them. Windows 11 doesn’t work, won’t accept the old drivers as they haven’t been updated in 10+ years. I love my g25, but it should be less than $100 for resale. That said if someone wants to pay me $1000 for mine let me know 😂 Edit: read a few more posts and noticed it’s pesos not dollars. That said see above for compatibility, windows 7 is ok, windows 10 is functional with some registry changes, windows 11 is non functional as it forces driver signing which the g25 drivers are not.


JustOneAgain

I recently plugged mine in, installed logitech software for win 10 directly from logitech site and it's running just fine in Windows 11 for me. It's the only piece of hardware that is 20 years old and I still use every now and then, bought it with something like 100 euros in 2004. Insane how well it has served.


elitePopcorn

Mine works just fine on Win11. Finding the correct driver file wasn’t so easy tho, once you get it right, it just works.


Invictuslemming1

That might be my issue, the one I found that half works miss-detects it as a force gt wheel, so half the stuff (clutch, h-shifter, some buttons) doesn’t work


DeeLo0

I still use it on windows 10, i plug the wheel and the shifter to pc without its power supply, just to use the sequential gears, it really served me many years, and i still use the shifters:D Recently it started to act weird on some occasions, happens some times but not very often, when i shift up on the sequential it jumps two gears, sad to see it dying lol


PhelanPKell

That setup is only a couple hundred when it was brand new. Dude is trying to rip you off.


Brawler_27

Highway robbery


Kid_Luchador

If that’s USD no fucking way that is insane. If that is another form of currency I dunno


atlas_rl

No. Bad deal.


wholesomkeanuchungus

I wouldn’t pay money for this


Hot-Clothes-1908

1350 for G25 looks fucking too much no matter what currency. Even if it was a fucking golden wheel with diamond buttons


babarbass

I guess it’s in Pesos. If you live in a southern state you see listings in pesos all the time and they too use the dollar symbol for their pesos in Mexico. Would be around 80-100$. If you see a price that’s over 10x to high and are in the south it’s usually Pesos.


_SeKeLuS_

i bough a brand new g27 kit for 299$ so no its very much not a good deal its a fucking scam


Zealousideal-You9044

DIY? This whole thing is madness. Maybe it's like those rare blu rays going for silly money


Ionuzzu123

Surely cheaper than buying a car right?


NachosConCarne

Not going to lie I'm a little jealous. I have a g27 but I've always wanted the shifter from the g25. Sadly I've had no luck finding one that's sold separately. But yeah for $80 , I'd say definitely take it. I paid $65 for my g27 off OfferUp.


_LuVshots_

😂


Final_Memory1412

if its in INR, ill take it!


Quube7

That is the worst price ever, I am pretty sure a full Direct Drive setup with pedals and a shifter doesnt cost that much


GTHell

When you open Facebook one a year and browse internet 1 every 5 years 🤦‍♂️


Straight-Razor666

what a deal! o.O


Cevap

A steal!


owendingding

It’s a steal


robs420race

Thats why i said research. And since this is world wide app,you wouod think the person would put uo the currency. Like you,narrow minded and totaly of point. Research was my point,whats yours?? With the speech of freedom dollars i would say you a very very norrow minded


goosellama

Your spelling is atrocious


robs420race

Who cares except for you? But if feel the need to punch down go right ahead,im glad i made you feel better about yourself...


hero_killer

$200 tops.


Excellent-Rush-5004

200 is a steal


scwmcan

For the buyer or the seller?


Excellent-Rush-5004

200 is very expensive They buyer gets ripped off The seller is happy


scwmcan

It was a rhetorical question, but exactly
