Japanese Exporter keeps spamming me !

[azlew]

Ok so they continue to spam me but this time they actually have an address and phone number in Japan in addition to their "english" speaking partners in the Philippines. I post this only to show it is possible (maybe if they are legit) to bring in Pachinkos via containers or 1/2 as they used to say.

Interesting in that this time they list their terms also.

My only question is what happens to your money when the boat sinks

Anyway here is the email and I imagine a few others here got it also (WARNING ALL NEWBIES STAY AWAY FROM THIS.....) :

Maybe some dealer out there would like to give ol TA some competition ???

[arbycoffee]

Lew,

Like a carrot on a string, wish I had the time and money to go there and talk face to face. It would make one feel so much better at spending all the funds.
It would be great to throw in some competition.

You know where my container would beÂ…

[azlew]

Tell ya what arby my luck would be your luck and we wouldn't have any insurance on the shipment but the exporter better or I would send my friend after them :

[arbycoffee]

I would have to do a sit down and talk to them, to get that feeling and insurance would be a must.
I also think I don't want them choseing for me, I think I would stay with the Lcds and newer models.
It would cost more I bet.

[logicprobe]

You know where my container would beÂ…

Arby and Lew's luck would probably be better than mine has been running.
At least their's would make it to port.

I have a feeling mine would end up with a little water damage.

[arbycoffee]

No ours would be on the buttom of the stack, it would probable hold yours out of the water
I bet Lew or I are that good a swimer to save them.

[azlew]

These people don't give up. Attached is a bmp pic of their Pachinko list they just sent me(surprise surprise = no Star Wars !). I won't bother listing their text from their email to me as it is just useless as far as I am concerned. The first thing I noticed is that their prices are higher now than before and by the time you replace the glass from the overseas shipping damage + transformers + all other expenses=I think it is better to import like the arb man is doing or wait for Stealth to get what you want in.

[RKnarr01]

Every time i sign onto yahoo messenger and theyre on they try to sell me a container!

[Tulsa]

Yahoo messenger spam? Now that's bad!

[arbycoffee]

those prices are even a little higher than yahoo Japan, the list of machines are a year release ago.
Lew they just want our money, they think we be fish waiting to be hooked.
I wish EMS was cheaper, even if it was only $150, that would change the whole market in Pachinko.

[RKnarr01]

If EMS was 150 I'd be buying about 1 machine a week frm japan.

[Lddrizzt]

Ok I get the fact that at the begining of this thread we were warned to stay away from this company by viewing an edited email from them. Ok we know not to deal with them. but now we have a price list from them posted almost 2 weeks later. Lew why did you bother to post the price list? We already were warned away from them, just delete the email and move on like the rest of us do.

[azlew]

Lddrizzt :

Well it has been proven that I bait all of you and secretly I work for them

I post this information to prove that the pricing dealers are getting in the US are getting to be closer to being fair,especially after you consider freight charges and costs to repair them and add transformers.

I do also agree with arby that if EMS was less it would be a no brainer what to do.

Oh and by the way the initial message of this thread was not edited by me as you suggest.

Hope that answers your question as to why I posted it

Lew

Ok guys....fight nice:smirk:

[logicprobe]

Ok so they continue to spam me...

Have you asked them to stop? If they don't, then either report them to their ISP (abuse @ domain), or filter your email.

I get these emails from them every once in a while, too.
They must think you're a high roller if they are sending you wholesale price lists, broken down by machine and quantity.
Heck... I usually have to request that information... they don't just offer it freely to me.
Well, if they're still sending this to you, and with what is supposed to be confidential pricing... way to go... you got them on a roll!

Hey... that last column doesn't add up. Must be there was a page one????

[RKnarr01]

This is the same company that supplies SlotUSA atleast they told me they supply SlotUSA, DGI, and 2 or so other vendors here in the US.

hmmm interesting. So they may be legit afterall?

[RKnarr01]

I was looking into importing a 20ft container but with college starting have decided that i cannot right now and ive talked with them a couple of times and from talking with them they sound legit.

I reported them to Yahoo but now I will report them to their domain if I can figure that out. Hmmm looks like their domain is yahoo so what else can I do?

The listing on one page is all they sent me (besides a "take a look at our great inventory comment") and it came as an attachment. So you know what I did : I virus and trojan checked it even after yahoo said it was safe.

Anyway now that it has been somewhat established they are a supplier here in US I feel a bit more comfortable

[azlew]

Ok guys....fight nice:smirk:

None coming from me dattia. Lddrizzt point is well understood by me and that is why he is a good moderator. And I will dance to that also
