Ineedmorelights Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I'm going to throw this out there, and will probably be ridiculed for even asking, but I am wondering if anyone has an "extra" controller they'd be willing to rent out this year if I cannot get one because they sell out. I've put so much time into programming this year, the additional controller is a must. From the sounds of it, everything is on back order, and I'm not confident I'll be one of the lucky few to get one. If I need to put my name on a list for renting i'll do it! I JUST NEED ONE....

But prolly too expensive.Or...he can send you his wife for deposit. On second thought that wouldn't work, he might let you keep her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ineedmorelights Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 That sounds fair. Of course this is all contingent upon my inability to acquire a controller this year. I just want to have a contingency plan.I understand your apprehension renting out controllers, I'd feel the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan.a Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I think it's a risk to send out any controler to people to rent you don't know. or across a state line.I know that in my time of troubles, members did ask and wanted to help my wife in any way they could. but it was for my display, not there's.If anyone is going to send out a controller, sell it. you have nothing to lose but a controller. and you can alway try the summer, winter sale.
