You are bidding on the actual items shown. Auction includes the joystick, box, manual, an ad for other Thrustmaster products, a small poster for military sims (there are actually 2 of these), and a booklet advertising EA games from 1996. 

I am the original owner of this. I bought it when it came out. It has been in storage for 25+ years now. It worked great back when I used it. I have no way to test it, though.
