    Nothing else to divulge.  When I plugged this in, it did lit up but no buttons/joystick respond.  I tried on 2 other computers, same thing.  Now it is not lit up.  I checked the PS/2 cable to make sure it is secure, but that is it.  I have no reason to break this to make you look bad.  I have made plenty of purchases (and sales) on this forum, and no beef with you since I only met you last night.  Do you want me to bring this over so you can show me that it is working?  If so, I will issue a public apology.

    Since you left me with no recourse, I will have no choice but to remediate the problem myself.

     

    You sold me a defective item, and you refuse to refund me.  Instead of doing the right thing, you continue to deflect the main issue here.  I would not have bought this if I know it is not working.  If it is so simple, you can take it back and fix it yourself or just resell it with full transparency that it is a defective item.  But you won't do that.

    You already stated that you won't pay me back because you used the money for rent, so it doesn't really matter what steps I have to take to get this to work.  

     

    Fact is that I would not have bought this if I knew it isn't working and that I need to put in more time or money.  That is not debatable.  You can try to sell it to the next person saying the parts are worth X.  All I know is that I wouldn't have bought this for $100 as is.  It isn't worth ANYTHING to me in the current state.

    I asked you if it works, you said yes.  I trusted you given your tenure and reputation here, and due to Covid I respected your arrangement (sidewalk pickup).  But this thing is broken when I get home.  You aren't taking any responsibility, I would NOT have bought it if it wouldn't even recognize on 1 computer, let alone 3.  You are playing semantics here.  You either do the right thing or not.  It is pretty simple.

     

    I will not never do cash transaction from now on, even with face-to-face transaction.  There are too many dishonest and just flat out immoral people who won't do the right thing.

    I bought something that he claims to be working.  If I could have tested it, I would but I gave him the benefit of the doubt (and Covid).   I want my money back because I don't have time to deal with this and if I had bought it with Paypal, I would have some protection from seller like this.

    I have a bad transaction with eighbit.  I bought an arcade stick from him for $200 last night.  He said he tested it and that it is working.  It is a pickup only item as it is quite heavy.  I paid him $200 cash and when I tested it at home, it is not working at all.  I suspect that the Ultimarc board is defective, but he won't take any responsibility for selling me a defective stick under the premise that it is working.  He wanted me to spend more money/time to fix it on my own.  This is completely unacceptable.

     

    The thread is here.

    Eightbit, I bought this under the premise that it is a working stick.  When I plugged it into my computer, none of the buttons or sticks register at all.  I followed Ultimarc's instruction of pulling up a notepad and using the buttons to see if anything is "typed".  It doesn't.  Although the board do light up, it is not recognized as a valid usb device.  I tried this on 3 different computers.  I also downloaded Ultimarc's software and it also doesn't recognize that it is plugged in.

     

    I want a refund, since I bought this under the impression that it is a working stick.  I paid you $200 cash and you sold me a defective item.   You should make this right instead of saying "tough luck", I can figure it out.  I didn't want to spend more money, or time/effort to learn how to fix this.

    People are obsessed with Shantae.  The original (GBC) version is highly sought after and the price has steadily climbed.  I think it is 1-2k now CIB.  LimitedRunGames are currently doing a repo of it and people just can't get enough.  The subsequent sequels are also sought after.  My personal opinion of the game is that it is a competent 2D scroller, but doesn't really deserve the hype, at least for the sequels.
