Title: Simply F'ing amazing..... Post by: KirkLasVegas on December 22, 2009, 09:38:35 PM I have to vent...I can't beleive what some people will pull!
I sold a EXTREMELY nice Gameking to a local here. Had them play it, everything worked fine. I POINTED OUT that you can hear the fan in the top box. Asked them to listen to that. They reply, no problem..its not that loud (its not really) They get the machine home and set it up Machine runs fine.WIFE (who played it at the house) now has a hissyfit.Fan is too loud!!! Request..... COME TO THEIR HOME AND REPLACE THE GOD DAMN FAN WITH A QUIETER UNIT!!!! SON OF A BITCH!!!!! TOld him to return the machine, full refund...never again! You bend over backwards, give them a great deal, be open and honest. What do you get???? ABUSED! For some odd reason people think if your nice/polite/honest and accomodating that you are STUPID and a god damn floormat...... Thanks for letting me rant/rave....

Post by: knagl on December 22, 2009, 09:56:36 PM After the last machine I sold, I'm seriously considering having buyers sign a simple purchase agreement that states that they understand that they are buying the machine as-is, where is, with no warranty, and once it leaves the house it is their property and has no further association with me. Having read your rant, I'm now more sure than ever that I want to do that.
Title: Re: Simply F'ing amazing..... Post by: KirkLasVegas on December 22, 2009, 10:00:48 PM Great idea. They dont understand they are at least 7 to 14 years old. Actually I want this guy to return it, I know he will be a "Problem child". This I dont need.
He thought half the button lights were out, he doesnt realize they are switched off by the software....jeez... Title: Re: Simply F'ing amazing.....

Would it be safe to guess that he also begged you for a less than market price as well??? :25- :30- :25- :58- :58- :58- CH :95- Title: Re: Simply F'ing amazing.....

I had one tonight, I have a Double Diamond Deluxe on there for $399. I get a email....."I have $300 in cash" My reply....."call me when you get the other $99" I sick of this crap..... Title: Re: Simply F'ing amazing..... Post by: PWRSTROKE on December 23, 2009, 12:11:38 AM Well, I have gotten the same thing. Priced a few games at give a way prices as it was then there were some that even tried more. I know the economy is hurting but come on-I priced accordingly. I do not see how anyone sells those high dollar s+ etc. on flea bay at all. Yes I know they offer some kind of magical warranty-ok. I could care less about a warranty myself as I went thru that shit about 3 years ago and that is exactly what it was. Also see why I do not ship any of these now?. Works perfect here and too much can go wrong in the transport. I would rather whoever come and scratch,sniff,play and be on there merry way with the thing AS-IS working on site and as described. If you are practically going to give a machine away so to speak for the money it has to be that way. Anyway I see myself getting on a rant here and I am going to stop- :81-. Now -wait- :81- If you charged a Left or even for that matter a Right NUT for the game -you better get your ass over there and put that fan in-- :208- :208- Son of a bitch ---@#**#@###@**.- :208-. Later pawn man, Barry. ps--- Merry X-Mas----- :221- :223- :223- :223- :223- :223- :223-.

My hats off to you sir! "call me when you get the other $99"... :97- classic are you originally from New Jersey? That's how so many merchants are doing there..I love it. I used to buy my lunches from a sidewalk cart everyday... no matter what they had or what is was...whether it was a couple of hotdogs or a sausage or a cheeseburger... It was always..."fi dollah, fi dollah, fi dollah."... :72- Title: Re: Simply F'ing amazing..... Post by: uniman on December 23, 2009, 01:57:40 AM I found it best to sell my machines at auctions, like arcade auctions. People go nuts when bidding at auctions and all sales final.
Title: Re: Simply F'ing amazing..... Post by: PWRSTROKE on December 23, 2009, 02:06:13 AM In a sense these days I am finding it better to just rip 'em apart and re-cycle them and build diff. games on a lot of them. I cannot compete nor would I try on some of these games -Espicially the base s-2000's. I am better of keeping those for future experimentation. The classics however I do not fool with, Those stay just the way they are. Uniman you can do the flea-bay auction--- :208- :200- :96-. B. As a note just over a year ago we were looking at on average 6-800.00 on a s-2000 --look what has happened----Dirt-Cheap so to speak.
Title: Re: Simply F'ing amazing..... Post by: reho33 on December 23, 2009, 02:08:50 AM There are 2 classes of slot consumer.
Ones who don't ever want to know anything about it but expect it to work all the time with no maintenance. And people like us who have to destroy it to build it better and understand how to make the slot machine do what it was not designed to do. S+ Category 1 price 1200.00 no warranty Category 2 price 250.00, make a friend for life. Nuff said. -R Title: Re: Simply F'ing amazing.....

I've never bought nor sold a machine on eBay!Was talking about local auctions. I sold several machines that way. Each had a manual and each had the NLG site as tech support. Made sure each machine was in proper operation and made sure each one was powered up for demonstration. That always worked good for me. No annoying calls for coin jams, etc. I've worked on Uni's and the owners told me they payed over a grand for it 10 years ago! Imagine that! Title: Re: Simply F'ing amazing.....

Title: Re: Simply F'ing amazing..... Post by: PWRSTROKE on December 23, 2009, 02:30:10 AM I think a good rant and rave has been started here. Ready for another story now as my kids tell me -- :208-. B. Want to hear a fresh new juciy rant -- :25- :30-.
