Around this time, I was obsessed with getting a home Dance Dance Revolution setup, during a time when we didn’t have the actually-playable Playstation 2 versions. I was very tight on money at this time, so I had to buy the cheapest dance controllers I could find. I found some through this seller for just over thirty dollars with shipping, and received them soon after.

They didn’t work properly, mainly because they were poorly constructed. I deduced that the brand itself would never work right, so I contacted the seller and asked if I could send the pads back and use the credit to buy better ones.

This is where the problems began. The seller apparently did not speak English on a regular basis, so our communication broke down fairly quickly. He assumed I wanted to trade in my cheap pads straight for expensive ones and, obviously, flat-out refused this. We couldn’t see eye-to-eye, so I gave him negative feedback. I sold the pads to someone else for $15, and they seemed to get them working.

I should note that this seller is no longer registered as of this writing, so if the name csc1224108 appears again, it may not be the same guy.
