new Ebay pachinko vendor?

[steam furnace]

Just saw pachinko4less with a number of machines at very tempting prices. Only an Ebay member since November 2005? He has quite a few marked "inventory end of year blow out." His ads show 500 balls, but no back or feet with the machines.

If only those auctions were genuine! I hope someone gets a great deal and tells us that it's all okay but I don't see how that's possible. The old saying 'If it's too good to be true, it probably is!' is more than likely the case here.

How do we know that? Has anyone purchased from this vendor yet?

[Kodai]

Less than a month on. No sales noted in the feedback. I'd be wary of this seller for now. Keep an eye on him for the next couple of weeks.

If you really want to try making a purchase, make sure you use a credit card on Paypal. That way you can dispute the charge if you get stiffed.

[biigdaddy]

It's very strange for a vendor to come on at the end of the year with an inventory sale and nobody here has heard of him. If the vendor has this inventory why hasn't he been selling prior to now either on ebay or commercially? This forum has a pretty good handle on the commercial vendors out there.

There has been a pachinko vendor on ebay in the past couple of months that has surfaced and quickly mysteriously disappeared only to show up under another name and then disappear again. This might be the same one based on the machines offered.

That vendor does have incredible prices yet they really aren't that unbelievable based on what their true cost of doing business is IF they brought in a container load. If you decide to take a chance do like Kodai says and be sure to protect yourself with a charge card purchase using PayPal and maybe even PayPal's insurance if they make it available. The vendor states they are in California. Maybe one of our members could check them out?

In any case, I say hang tight because IF they are legit the prices will stay where they are or go lower after the Holiday Madness.

arby I hate to admit this : but knowing the amount of protection I would get with my chargecard and maybe paypal's insurance, I was real tempted to do a couple of Buy It Now's. But.....

OK, I'll bite and send him an email.

[arbycoffee]

I know what you mean.

Anyone know anything about them? I sent them an email asking their location. Thought it might be another name for Valley Gaming which is located about 30 miles south of my home.

[doodude]

This seller is offering a "no payment till..." thru' paypal.
I didnt explore the specifics but that seems plenty of time to decide if its a rip or not, aye!?

Whats with T.A.? Have they gone to only "buy it now" sales?

[slotter]

Should be intersting, Arby. Perhaps, all will work out well.

I got an email for him and he claims to be in Southern California. Too bad, I wanted to possibly play some machines if he was in the Bay Area.

[sacpinplayer]

Yep, Orange County. Said he'd take $15 off shipping to N. California. I'm really tempted for a black Robocop, maybe a Cherry Blossom.

I'm living proof of this. I just grabbed a black Robocop. Maybe my wife won't be home when (IF) it's delivered??
