    I wouldnt be stepping into your business with him directly. I was just going to tell him he should stop by. He is (or at least I think he was at one time) a member here. I would think it would be in his best interest to see what the community thinks of him right now. I know that has helped in dealings with other vendors in the past.

    I would be nice if he were to stop by the site, so we could at least get his side of the story.

    I think it would help if all sellers were members, it would make communication and support so much easier.

    It could be nice to know a bit more what's happen, and maybe help to understand. And maybe make the purchases with him less troublesome.

    Pachinko Pagoda have two Jurassic Park Pachinkos, ready to ship, but they are setup for recycling and don't have lock mechanism, if someone is interested.

    One of these Jurassic Park was one of the machine I originally ordered from him.

    Well, Dave finally contacted me in January to let me know that the Jurassic Park is ready to ship. He didn't found a lock replacement. I asked him to verify if the upper tray feeder was functional and he said it is disable and don't know how to enable it, My original purchase was for a Jurassic Park not setup for recycling, so I prefer to wait to find an other one. I'm still waiting for the other pachinko I ordered at the same time but need to have a new glass cut.

    Again, I apologize for bumping such old threads...

    I saw an ebay listing from Pachinko Pagoda for some cool looking tokens:

    500 BELLAGIO Tokens - Arcade or Pachislo Skill Slot !!! - eBay (item 300286387215 end time Aug-09-09 17:30:48 PDT)

    I was thinking about buying some, but I saw this thread. Should I flat-out not trust this guy?

    Now I see where PachinkoPagoda has two "Jaws pachinkos for sale on Ebay. I think it would be a good idea for sellers to keep in touch with sites like PT and its members. By doing so It would make future purchases more comfortable for everyone. One of the well established Pachinko sellers has the "Jaws" machines for a better price on top of everything else.

    Oh, well they are "authentic Bellagio" in a sense as the ad says... , but not the Bellagio.

    I read through all of the posts. Unless I missed something, he never did "give his side of the story".

    IMO, after reading some of these posts, I need his side of the story before I would place any orders with him. Maybe he's not a bad guy. Maybe he went through some personal trauma. Not a problem...all can be forgiven. But his public silence in response to public accusations leaves me with a level of mistrust.

    JMHO.
    I'm not addicted to Pachinkos. I can quit at any time. Did I tell you about the three machines that I have on the way?

    Last time he contacted me in January, after he announced to me that both his Jurassic Park machines was set to recycle, I said to him that I prefer one not set to recycle and would past on this one, that's why I announced that Dave have two Jurassic Park set to recycle here, in case someone would like one this way.

    For the other machine I was waiting from him, apparently the glass was missing but was supposed to be cut and on the way. After a month, I contacted him a last time to say that if he don't had the time to clean the machine and had the glass cut, I would do it myself, no problem. but never got a reply.

    Has someone said to me here, he probably don't have the machine on hand, he tried to find one but never has been able to find one. That is what I suspect too.

    Has I said in a previous post, I would probably do business with him if he contact me to say the machine is ready (something I don't think will happen because he probably never had the machine on hand).

    For tokens and balls and machines advertised on Ebay, I don't think it could be a problem, I can't imagine he no longer have tokens, balls and the machines advertised on Ebay.

    A last note to be confirmed, If my memory is good, Dave was supposed to stop pachinkos business in january. He still have many machine to sell on Ebay, always the same, nothing new. Don't know if he ordered new stuff or try to get rid of the left over ones.

    Well if he's holding on until he sells his "Rare" Red Stars Wars pachinko he will be around for a long time.

    I think I inadvertantly dealt with Dave through West Controls. But i got a great deal on some extra balls. 500 for 20 bucks. So I ordered 2000 At that price. And not 1 week after my balls came in he raised the prices to 30 bucks I truly lucked out lol
