Several Questions - Vendors/Machine and Buyer

[Tony Junior]

I have several questions about vendors/Pachislo machines on eBay and one buyer.

5stardeal.com: Has anyone here bought from them? If so, how are their machines/delivery/communication? Is this person a member of Pachitalk? If so, what name do they use here?

pachislot777: Same questions.

Does anyone beside PACHISLO.COM sell machines by the pallet at a discount? (Nephew wants to use for fund raisers where he works.)

Does anyone know anything about the ARAKING Pachislo/Pachinko machine that paschinko_pallace (Mike?) has on eBay? Review, whatever? How wouldd you rate it for play?

eBay buyer: We had quite a discussion about robertk6161 just a while back. Now I notice a buyer bidding low on a number of Pachislos going by the name "stebbins2004" Know anything about him/her? Member here?

How about "samg300" --- 0 buys? Member?

I would like to add one or two machines within the next two weeks. Any suggestions?

Many thanks for any answers!

I can answer about pachislot777 aka DGI (Direct Gaming International). Good company, moderate shipping times but generally very clean machines and very helpful tech support.

[azlew]

SlotUsa does also. Ask for Joe and tell him Lew sent ya(yeah right like that will do yu any good haha)....

They will do Pachinko pallets also. But be prepared for a few rusty balls

[Tony Junior]

Tulsa: Many thanks for the info. Tell your boss I said to give you a raise!

Azlew: I already have rusty --- Oh! you said pachinko balls!

Thanks fellows!

Just got my Arra King from P----777, still trying to figure out the lights, sounds and all. I don't think the pachinko part is real, I don't see any balls and the ears (like pachinko) have opened a few times. Really nice when you do get in a bonus round. As far as P---777 they were a little slow to ship out (I paid on Mon nite and it was going to be the following Mon before reg ship)until I called and said I was leaving town when it would have been due. Dan put the rush on it and got it to me before I left. P---77 does not give any discount, extra token, etc to Pachitalk members.
I have several questions on the AK but waiting until I get organized (whats that) before I submit them.






Babel, One Year War, Arra King, 5&10 Pachinko

Thanks, moonlighter. Why not write a review of that new Araking machine?

I got a Wild Wolf from Pachislot 777 just a week ago. It arrived in a timely fashion, was clean and well packed and arrived in one piece. They answered my e-mail question within one day as well. For me, everything went well with this dealer.
As for Five Star Deal, I've never ordered a Pachi from them. I have however, ordered alot of poker related merchandise over the past year and they were always quick to ship, quick to answer e-mails and quick to resolve any problems. When I ordered a few hundered poker chips and 2 of those arrived broken, they shipped out 2 replacement chips within a few days time. (It definitely cost them more to ship the replacements than what the chips were worth). I dont know about their Pachislo's but they do seem to have the customer service thing well in hand.

i won my gold treasure pachislo from 5 star, it is due monday thru ups.

they are the only dealer selling these 2004 machines for now.

i'll let everyone one know what condition is is in,

they do have negatives and neutrals on feedback, but they are high volume sellers.

their feedback on machines has been good.

[Tony Junior]

Jazz - thanks for that report.

Lucky - let us know how the new machine arrives.

In the meantime, check the Mods & Tech section. I just posted a problem with the King Camel and need answers.

Thanks y'all!

I have got a machine from 5stardeal.com from an ebay auction. Paid for item day after auction ended, shipping speed was okay, condition of the machine was one of the dirtiest I have ever received and very musty smelling, emailed them to let them know and no response back. But the thing that made me most upset is that just over a month after paying and receiving the machine they reported me to ebay as a non paying bidder. I responded right away and emailed them asking why they did that, no response. I gave all the information of my payment to ebay and they never responded to ebay either. Luckily because I had the payment proof and after they would not respond to ebay I did not get a strike against me. I would be leery of buying from again. It would have to be a very good deal, one that would be hard to pass up.

Tony-

The Arraking from PP is a nice machine. I have dealt with PP and they back up their products. No pachinko action though, the ball just lifts up for a second or two. It's a fun machine to play, the LED lights at the top act like a 4th reel per say, as it is another way to get the bonus if you get all three numbers to mach. I think I got it for $120ish or so a few months back. I highly recommend it, plus I like the green color of the machine. Hope this helps.

My experience with 5stardeal.com (also known as trademarkpoker.com) was terrible. It took them six weeks to finally sort our my order. They promised that it would be shipped almost daily. Once they even gave me a bogus tracking number to prove that it was shipped. They rarely responded to emails or voice mails. The only hope of talking to the salesman was if he happened to answer the phone.

When the machines arrived they were the mustiest smelling that I have ever received.

Then they overcharged my credit card and, when they wouldn't return my phone calls or emails, I had to contact the credit company and file all the "dispute" paper work. What a pain in the ...

[Jazzy Jay]

Dang, I never would have guessed that based on my experiences with them.

Thanks Utopia. I may try to win that machine. I've bought one machine from PP, the King Camel, and they are geat to deal with. Don't know if they can help with the stuck reel on a Sturday or not. I'll find out today.

[gwarzin]

Thanks Utopia. I may try to win that machine [Arra King].

Just don't over pay for it. Pachislo.com has one on their website for direct purchase at $149.

Thanks Gary! I'll keep that in mind. That isn't a bad price, as far as I'm concerned. Are they good to deal with? One more...Is there any way to buy from them WITHOUT going through Yahoo?

There are several machines I have the "I wants" for besides the Arraking, Neo Planet Pulsar, Bang Bang Dash, King Of The Battle World, and ANOTHER King Camel!

So far I've only had dealings with Eric and Milt and been very happy with both!

[gwarzin]

I've purchased about 14 machines from pachislo.com and have had no problems. I also had no problems using their Yahoo shopping website. But, if you have some aversion to Yahoo I'd bet you could just phone them and given them a credit card. For 6 or more you could do a wholesale order - 35% off but no warranty, tokens would be extra, and they come in single boxes on a pallet (instead of their double box with foam retail packing). I know they take those orders over the phone or by email.

[BullGates]

I have an araking and I love it. You need a volume control it's LOUD. I wish I could find a player manual, there's appears to be alot of nuance to this machine.

[AkaReaper]

I got my Mephisto from 5stardealer, 5 days after I paid for it. 71 bucks, not bad. Gotta get a volume control for it though. I got my Outlaw from pachislo777, fast shipping too. Both were clean, in great shape. Azteca Returns just got here today, have not checked it out.
