Bad Vendor: no-coke-pepsi-24

[Pat98TJ]

I contacted this seller outside of ebay. His name is Wayne. He actually lives in Port Arthur, TX not Massachusetts. He said he had a Nice Betty so I PalPal'd funds. It came and was not a Betty but some Japanese version with a poorly printed Betty picture in the belly. The center reel was locked up and several plastic parts were laying inside. The was no damage to the box. I asked for a refund and he was reluctant but finally refunded the amount minus shipping. The worst part is his name through PayPal is Real Solid Sex Doll. Now I have that to explain for the rest of my life!!

It even mentioned it is a Custom Machine.

That is OK PAT. You are certainly not the first person this has happened to. Information is everything and I am sure it won't happen to you again. I am just curious as to the sound? It says a Betty Song had been added to it, I am wondering how that worked. A few people on this forum do really nice custom work and there has been no way that I know of to date to match the sound with the new custom theme. Any info?

...not a Betty but some Japanese version with a poorly printed Betty picture in the belly...

...The worst part is his name through PayPal is Real Solid Sex Doll.

Sounds like he provides one service... but with different methods.

Well the buyer did get out of some chash?

I contacted him originally to see if he had a Sinbad...I saw no pics. Now I have a Visa charge and credit with REAL SOLID SEX DOLL and the same on Pay Pal....God I pray I don't have to explain that in an audit!

You're not the first and you won't be the last to make a mistake like this. When I was new to the hobby there was a Lion King machine that I wanted badly. The ad said Disney and everything.

Well the price was always higher than I cared to pay for a slot since others were much less expensive and in my first few weeks of over-buying machines I had no clue about, I managed to not buy that $100 Sammy King of Animals machine for $250.

It wasn't a custom, just misleading advertising. It can happen to anyone new to the hobby.

I didn't play it...when I opened it there were plastic parts all over and a board hanging. The center reel was jammed. It was a wore out very old machine with deer on the reels. I know the UPS guy well enough that he just came back and picked it up like I refused shipment....that way I didn't pay to ship it back. I guess me and Ol Betty just weren't meant to be...story of my life.

[dattia]

Don't give up on it. I have a real Betty and I love it. There is also a Betty Pachinko on the market.

[fronzdan]

Oh God, that sucks. Thankfully I found PachiTalk BEFORE I bought my first machine.

Here's a real Betty...kind of on the expensive side though, I've seen it cheaper.

[LeWood]

yeah, don't feel bad. I almost bought an Elvis machine I wanted terribly bad until I found Pachitalk and discovered it was a custom knock off, I will wait and "Elvis" will someday be mine... LOL, that sounded wrong for some reason!
Anyway, just hang in there, be glad you got some of your money back and save it for the real Boop....

[birdbrain]

theres one on OUR auction site for $100 less than that right now

[Frank A]

I had my Betty on the auction last week for $ 399.00 and did not get any bids. Frank A

[Tulsa]

The market right now for Betty's seems to be in the $250 range. That maybe why you didn't get any bids.
