pachislocity.com Buyer Beware!!!

[Deant]

Has anyone here ever had any dealings with Dave from pachislocity.
He's been putting The Pachislo Bible on ebay as a buy now or make offer
so I made an offer $15 he accepts the offer http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...e=STRK:MEWN:IT
payed him for it on Feb.21 never recieved the item after 2 weeks I
emailed him he said I should have recieved it by now and said he would resend it. 7 days later still have not recieved it emailed him again to let him know I was going to start an Report an Item Not Received with ebay.
No response to the email so I call he to see why he keeps jerking me around
of coarse his voice mail picks up....I leave no message so he calls the number on his caller ID and asks me if this is A to Z auto parts so I call and leave a few more messages with my phone number and of coarse no call back.
I call again and finally someone ansers and its his wife....Says Dave is at work
and will be home around 9 hmmmm so I say to her I just got a call from him 15 min ago from this number so she gives me a line of BS and I tell her thanks
and will call back later. I left 2 more messages and never got a response so I call my wife to have her check my email to see if he responded to my email
WOW an email from paypal with a refund of $20 from pachislo city.
So I call Dave again (had to leave a voice mail of coarse)to let him know I never ask him for a refund I just wanted the item I paid for.
I was a paying member of pachislo city.
Maybe the book really doesn't exist.
I don't know if anyone here has ever delt with him before but I won't and will never recommend him to anyone.
Its amazing how much 20 bucks is worth some people and what theyll but on the line to keep it.

Deant.. Is that the same as (www.pachislocity.com) I have seen that web site and was thinking of joining. I emailed a couple of questions about their membership and never got any answers. You said you were a paying member of Pachislo city... is it any good... is it worth joining??

Thanks for any info... Tom

This board was created for free information, pachislocity.com wanted to charge members for information that can be gotten for free here, at PC you wont find the kind of help you do here. A lot of people came here from PC because Dave's site advertised things such as wholesale machines when really they were twice the cost of what you can get them for, his site also doesnt provide the knowledge of this sites large member base.

I am sure that anyone reading around the forums has seen references to "the old way", well boys and girls "the old way" refers to the rip off, give me your money, we have one post every 3 months PachisloCity.com and it's slumlord Dave Helmig.

Dave is a rippoff artist, "you get 2 free months of membership" on his site, AFTER you quit and cancel your subscription. Umm no you don't. You will find that most of the first hundred or so members here at PachiTalk are exmembers of "the old way". This site was started by Tulsa and David R because they felt that this information should be free, and that pachinko should be included in the discussions. When PachiTalk came online in November most of us left "the old way" and have never looked back.

I don't recomend to anyone to checkout the other site, unless you want to throw away your money, to see old posts (most of which were made by us, if you go there you will see our usernames, I don't think many of us changed them when we came here), if you want the up to date info, you are already here.

Bottom line:
Dave and Pachislo City = bad.
All of us (and by us, I mean you also) and PachiTalk = good.

This is my personal opinion! Pachislocity.com. Slumlord Dave .

pachislocity.com = A great place to be alone with your thoughts...

Lddrizzt summed my thoughts up completely.

Now that's some good advice!!!

(Haha, Arby... good one! : http://www.users.qwest.net/~arbycoff...angsmilely.gif )

I wish I could have found PachiTalk before pachislocity and saved my 3bucks.
I did canel the subscription with paypal
David R the refund I got of $20 would be well spent at PachiTalk for member support. If you take member donations for board support
If so let me know and I will paypal the $20

Thank you for the offer, but our banner ads at the bottom of every page pay for the site. As the registered party with Google, I cannot encourage, suggest, or allow discussion of such encouragement for visitors to click on the ads, but enough people seem to find them of interest that they do indeed pay for the site, software, and bandwidth.

Banner ads was our suggestion to the "Old Way" to make it free, and was never listened too. Nor the addition of Pachinko's.

So the birth of Pachitalk came!

PC uses Goggle ad also and put the money in his pocket.

I am new to both e-mail shopping and Pachislo and had joined Pachislocity before I found this site and after two days here I had more info for free than was on the other site, so I emailed to get off the other site and told him to keep his free two months and guess what I got no responce good thing you guys/gals toold me to cancel through PayPal so at the most I am only out three bucks but that is a gallon of gas in some places.:disappoin

This is what I don't get. I know how he used to screw people on slot machines but why the book? It's on a CD. Just copy the freakin' CD and send it out. What's a blank CD cost?
