Title: Nintendo COIN sticker...
Post by: FrizzleFried on April 14, 2007, 06:05:37 pm
Does anyone OTHER THAN Arcadeshop sell the Nintendo Insert Coin sticker.  I don't do business with arcadeshop since the rude bastard blasted me for asking a simple question.

Thanks!

What did he say and what did you ask?

(PM me if you don't want to post in the public...  But I would if I were you.)

Service is King.  It annoys me when I'm wanting to give business to someone and they provide poor service.

I asked a stupid question some months back a little after I was first getting in to the hobby.  I asked (and I am para-phrasing here) something to the effect of "Do you provide a guarantee on your powersupplies so as that if I  buy this PS and it doesn't work on my cabinet I could return it for store credit or something?"... on hind site a stupid question,  but one that would simply require a response to the effect of "I am sorry,  but we do not provide a money back guarantee on our items" or even "No,  I am sorry." or even simply "No".  Instead I got,  "Sorry, we do not loan parts for trouble shooting."

Evidently Stephen isn't the most diplomatic of chaps...I found his response to be a bit snippy as that was the only thing he said...perhaps I am being too sensitive...hell,  perhaps I am being a ---smurfette--- about this whole thing...it was literally 3 days after my dog died that this exchange took place.   I'd still rather find an alternate source for my arcade stuff...

I sell them, but I charge 2x what they do, I take twice as long to ship and I charge twice for shipping  ;D  Sound good to you? You don't have to know where I get mine do you?


Seriously though, that WAS rude if you ask me.  Do you have one that you can perhaps replicate somehow, I think I've seen a picture of one and it was silver w/ black, so I guess you couldn't just print it very easily.  There was an article on Arcade Restoration (http://www.arcaderestoration.com) that claimed to get a sticker at Arcade Renovations (http://www.arcaderenovations.com), but I couldn't find it on the site, it may be worth a call.

MikesArcade has them, but they are part of a set -

http://www.mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/store.pl?sku=DKCARDSET (http://www.mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/store.pl?sku=DKCARDSET)

They don't list them separately, but perhaps they'll sell just that if you ask...

(I've never done business with them, so I can't vouch for their service...)

I choose to think that Steve (at ArcadeShop) is just like the rest of us and has his good days and bad days ... I would agree that his response to Frizzle would fall under the bad day category.

I have never run into a bad day with him, but have heard more than a couple of stories about people who have had bad day experiences with either him or his wife.

I will still order from him without hesitation, but certainly don't blame Frizzle for not wanting to.

Bah...i probably will too...I was DEFINITELY having a bad day when he shot me off that email...and it didn't really help.  It was just about the time I was quitting smoking as well if you all remember how THAT was...ugg..

Bah...his wife has been nothing but nice when I talked with her...
