well i may as well be under arrest by now, but here’s an update
i know i’ve fucked up but you guys gotta realize it takes ALOT to build sticks, i’ve easily spent over hours on average per stick, i’m doing a completely new style, and i only charged $15 dollars for over 6 hours of work.
my laptop was dead, but its back and from here on out i will have daily updates, i haven’t had time to read all of the wonderful things said about me, but progress has been made, if you still want a refund thats still availible but please at least look at my work before you take it. Like i said before i’m doing this out of my love for the community and while that has been lost through all the shit thats gone down, don’t think for one second that i feel good about any of this, this shit keeps me up at night
If that was the case, then I apologize for accusing you of being unreasonably absent from refunds and what-not. I must say, your new case design looks pretty slick. Simple and rather clean. Sorry to say that I’m still going to have to ask for a refund. By this point, my friend’s stick is well into the process of being crafted by lazeeya and will ship as soon as Lizard Lick restocks on Sanwa parts so I can’t say I have any need for another stick.
Nah, it’s fine. I’m sure you can find better use for them in a future stick order than shipping them over for parts. Keep 'em dude. Refund’s all I’m asking for.
I appreciate the pics, but I think at this point we need a lot more detail regarding our individual sticks. I’m not sure if my 2 sticks are even in that stack in the pics, etc. Plus, I have already started going about getting sticks built by somebody else (as I’m sure others have). Please give us an itemized update: let us know exactly how far along you are on everybody’s order and approximately how much time you still need to finish. That way we can all best decide if we’d like a refund or not. Just please come clean with us and give us a lot of details so we don’t feel like we’re in the dark.
Also, I really don’t think there’s any excuse for not popping your head in here every day or two and telling us what’s up. If you don’t want to call that avoiding us, then call it whatever you want…the point is, a LOT of people here are pretty upset about feeling forgotten/screwed over/shafted/whatever it is people are feeling. You can stop us from feeling that by coming in here and TALKING TO US. Then you don’t have to feel bad at night, and neither do we.
any sticks that are done but not wanted are up for sale, any money raised on the sale of sticks will go directly to refunds, i also have some money that can be used for refunds.
Pablo,
i cannot possibly ask anymore of you, but please accept these sticks. I’m very very sorry, but these two sticks have lost me money, that is to say minus work time, i’ve spent more money on them than i ever made off of the deal in the first place. i also have a 360 pad of yours. i can ship this week.
Of course I still want them, I just wish I hadn’t already purchased other ones in the meantime.
Please send mine ASAP alongside the controller. Thank you for following through.
Also, you may have forgotten, but I believe I still owe you some money for the second stick (that’s probably why you think you lost money on my deal), as I only paid you to make me the first one, as well as paid for an extra 360 wired controller to be sent to you (so I was going to deduct 14 bucks from that money). So 25 - 14 = 11 + extra shipping. If it’s okay with you, I’ll send you any money that I owe you as soon as I receive the sticks (as it’s been a very very long time, and I really want to have them first before completing the deal). Thanks for your understanding. Let me know how much the total shipping cost is once you send them out, and I can send you the difference along with the 11 bucks as soon as I get it. I hope this is fine.
I’m sorry, but, I’m going to have to ask for a refund, as I’d bought another stick in the time since I’d last heard from you. I do like the look of it though and it’s really too bad it ended up like this.
Zal if you have something left over and need the sell it to offset a loss PM me. I can come by and take a look at what you have locally as I live in ABQ. I might know a firend that needs something in this range.
I couldn’t really understand how you could offer sticks this low in the first place. It’s kind of nuts.
even with that i had to buy a third 360 pad, there’s no way i’d make any money on the deal regardless, and the fact is i’m not even concerned about it. I just want to make up for it, so you can have the second stick no charge just for being patient with me.
thus far i have two sticks that are on gonna be refunds, as soon as i assemble them, they will be up for sale
i will probably discontinue these sticks at these prices, and move up market with my full sticks
instead i will probably be selling budget kits to assemble your own, cause lord knows wiring is what kills the deal for me. Complete with box, hacked pad, and grounding harness.
also, i will never ever ever again hack an official 360 pad. they are the worst to deal with, and break so fucking easily
also i don’t think i’ll be taking orders anymore. i’ll still make budget stuff, but it’ll all be made before hand so that nobody else has to deal with my life getting in the way of their sticks
I told him, I told him, I told you so Zal. I said “Zal I know you want to do this for everybody but you have to think of yourself otherwise it’s just gonna be too much your making no money and you don’t live with your parents.” Oh well people tell me all the time and I never listen either.
Zal, I still want my stick, no refund or anything. I see mine is done, the one with the red parts. Looks beautiful, can’t wait to get it.
EDIT: I second bonebreak2000, I’ll be willing to take off anything that you don’t need to help you out.
EDIT2: Zal, you modded mine with a PS2 pad, I was wondering if you think it would be easy for me to swap it for a 360 PCB I have here. Shouldn’t be too hard, right? Comes with QD’s and all that jazz
