Title: arcadeemulator.net - Reliable?
Post by: dithrin on September 27, 2011, 12:47:03 pm
has anyone purchased or worked with this site for parts. I didnt see anything in the wiki for a review so thought i would ask.  I like the idea of getting everything from 1 location to save on shipping.

looking to get an IPAC2, buttons, sticks.

That's Divemaster127' site.  He's a member here and has a thread in Buy/Sell/Trade.  He's highly recommended.

He's good, I bought a coin door off him. Cheaper than buying directly from Happ. I use Lizardlick from my Japanese parts :cheers: Groovy Game Gear is also very good.

+1 on the recommendation and especially good for Happ items.  DM doesn't ship every day like some of the vendors on here, so if you're a shipping nazi be prepared.

Yah,  if you are just getting into this hobby be prepared for a money pit.  Ten years later, you have many projects & your garage will be full.  I work full time in the oil fields.  So I ship a couple evenings a week & pack all day on saturydays.  This week, I have been shipping about 15 orders a day & I still have about 40 to get packed & shipped at the moment.  A lot of people like to be able to get happ & ultimarc at 1 site & shipped all together.  I stock about $15K at all times but its impossible to stock everything from happ but I do special orders all the time.  About the only items I do not carry, no monitors & I offer bezels for local pickup only.  The shipping on bezels is horrible.
