Anyone know this dealer ?

[DrDark]

I saw an ad on Craigslist for a Pachinko machine. When responding, I got a reply from the seller that he was a dealer and had an extensive list of machines available.
Before I dive in, I wanted to ask my pachi-friends if this fellow is a good guy, skunk or an unknown?
His business name is Sunny Inc.
What say you friends?

[Sid]

Do you have a link...

[DrDark]

I will look for the link to the craigslist ad

[birdbrain]

probably the guy who is just marking up cf imports items. he's in cal

[DrDark]

He IS in cali.
Should I be wary?
He has a good price on a machine I want.

Just buy from CF... Hiro stands by his product! I have purchased 10 machines from him in the last 6 months. The only real problem I had was caused by UPS, and Hiro took care of it better than any other vendor would have.

I bought a Lupin III machine from Koji(Sunny Inc.) about a month ago. UPS was problematic and caused a shipping delay but other than that, the machine was in excellent shape, came with 1000 balls, and a tray. The packaging was crazy good too.

[DrDark]

Good to know the machine came well packed and in good shape.
THANKS

[DrDark]

I gave him a try.
I purchased a STARWARS machine from Koji (Sunny Inc.) today.
I will keep you posted on the outcome and include some photos.

Pachi Friends:
BEWARE Of Koji (Sunny Inc (sunnyus@earthlink.net).) -OR- PayPal ID = Pride.
Do not purchase from this vendor!
I sent Koji (liar and fraud) a payment on June 20, 2008. As of today, I have not gotten my machine and he has repetedly LIED to me telling me that he has shipped (sent a confirmation number but never shipped) and when asked for a refund LIED again and never followed through. To make matters worse he LIED yet again and said he sent the check to me, even giving me a fraudelent U. S. P. S. tracking number.
I have now disputed this transaction with PayPal, contacted the California Attourney General and contacted the Postmaster General.
STAY AWAY
Updates to follow as new information becomes available.

I purchased 2 machines from Koji. Very quick shipping and the machines were like new.

Must just be a bad transaction you had.

[FireAndIce]

I also ordered from him. Shipping took a little longer than expected but the machine is amazing. and FYI, he sells for Hiro of CF Exports.

[DrDark]

Friends, why do you suppose this guy would go south on me?
Anyone recently do business with him?

FireAndIce...what were the circumstances of your UPS delay you mentioned? I have been waiting for a while for a pachi shipment and I'm wondering if it may be a UPS thing.

According to Koji, he charged me $60 for shipping when in reality it was $90. I didn't have to pay the extra but his "shipping department aka Hiro" was taking care of it. Took me about a month to get it but it's well worth the wait.

[DrDark]

Koji delayed and delayed and eventually mentioned that he needed to build a "WOODEN FLAME" to hold the machine as the last shipment was damaged in transit and his "TERMINAL" would not accept it. After 47 days of hearing from him every 3 days telling me he was building it I gave up and asked for a refund. This was after he gave me a bogus UPS tracking number 3 weeks before. This guy may have been able to deliver at one time but after alerting him to his fradulent USPS tracking number I have not gotten a reply from my DAILY emails. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS VENDOR.

[MrGoodBurn]

I would recommend staying with one of the known and trusted vendors listed below. I have done business with all of them either directly or indirectly, and have no reservations in recommending any of them.
