Other cheap, US places to get Topguns?
« on: June 19, 2006, 11:10:32 pm »
I have emailed Cliffs since their site says they are out and they're coming in soon. No response. I don't want to get them from overseas so I can save a few bux. Is there any other domestic places here in the US?

I can tell you where NOT to get your guns in the United States:
www.the-console-corner.com
www.ecomadventures.com

I bought 2 guns, paid via paypal. Never received the guns, opened a claim in paypal - won the claim but paypal says they don't have any money for me to have. I filed a report with the Better Business Bureau in Cincinnati as well as the Ohio Attorney general and the US postal service's mail fraud. Still no guns, nor any refund.

I got mine from Cliff Racer. Fast deliver. Good deal. I think they are in Michigan.

Horseboy:

Do they work well with MAME or hard to calibrate?  This just might be my birthday present to myself!  Those black guns would look very nice with our cab!

This thread here on the forums talks all about them.

I'll be ordering mine in a few days, they sound awesome.

Joseph Elwell.

Exactly the same thing happened to me. When I didn't receive the guns within a couple of weeks (having paid for expedited shipping) the guy said their server must have crashed and they didn't have any details of my order. BS. He asked me to put thru a second order and he'd refund me the money from the first order. That smelled fishy to me so I asked him to refund me first and he said he would. The guy is a complete tird. At one stage he said he'd be able to give me a refund through his mothers PayPal account- I get the impression that this guy is a 13 year old scam artist. I've also gone through the BBB and the Attorney Generals office and gotten nothing out of it.
