    Default slottechusa *Beware*

    slottechusa will shill bid his auctions. If you're in one, you'll never know how much he's jacking the price on you!!! BEWARE

    I personally have had him removed from ebay temporarily and his alter ego removed entirely. This doesn't mean he doesn't have more alter ego's!! I can't give him credit for being the sharpest knife in the drawer since catching him was rather easy, but I'm sure like a dog, he can learn..

    So watch out!!!

    Better yet, just avoid!! There's plenty of other machines to bid on by reputable people!

    Is that a custom machine? if so, he kept (or faked) the license stickers.

    Either way it is a ripoff.

    But I bet someone bids on it......

    thats the one bar by belco, all he did was put a bandit arm on it, pachislot777 has them on ebay for 109.00 buy it now,

    they had a dozen listed at that price.

    that shows how RARE it really is. :lol:

    I like yanking people's chains. I just sent him the following Question:
    I am confused.

    Am I wrong, or is that just a standard One Bar pachislo (retail value < $200) with an autostop and bandit arm (retail value < $100)?

    Have I missed something here?
    I doubt he will respond, but if he does, I will post it here.

    Someone should work one up real quick and list it on eBay. You could even say something like "Compare MY price to others" and have a link to his auction.

    That way, not only is his ad now incorrect "Only one on eBay", nobody will buy his...

    He never once mentions that it is a Japanese slot. You would think it was a "full size" Las Vegas slot if you didn't know any better.

    He really spent some time wordsmithing his listing.

    Nothing he says in it is false (or could be proved false).

    It IS misleading as all hell, but you couldn't pin anything on him.

    Unfortunately, eBay doesn't regulate the usage of words such as "Rare", "Unique" and "Vintage".

    I wonder if he could sue me or something if I sent e-mails to anyone who was stupid enough to bid on the thing, warning them that they are paying WAY too much for it...

    I like the picture of the pull arm. It's all blurry in the picture, like someone Photoshopped in on. He says that it's the last one available. He probably will wait and put in on only after someone actually bids on it.

    Someone should "Ask the seller a question" on this....

    We need to use this forum not only to outline who the good vendors are but to highlight slime like this guy!

    Well - our voices must have been heard.

    I checked out his auction today, and it looks like he lowered the starting price to $299.

    It will still go for more that it is worth, however, but at least some newbie wont pay $800 for it.

    There are currently 2 bids out there as of Sunday Night. $305 + $60 shipping + $10 mandatory insurance. Already up to a total of $375

    I love the comment "Very Rare chrome bandit arm". So rare you can get one from ebay for $60+ . :grin:

    Also- "Quarter Size" He is wrong with this one. Quarter size would be 24.2mm. vs 25mm for token- Unless he had this converted.
