EDIT FOUND THE LINK and going by the email in your sig you are the same guy.


Are you the guy who sold all those guys on the Neo Geo forums a bunch of beat up cabs that were damaged and broken in their group buy?

If so buyer beware, and you should search the Neo forums for pics etc. Some of those cabs got beat to hell, and a lot of guys said they never got refunded etc.

I'm well aware of the Neo forum incident. I've heard bad and good regarding this seller, but unfortunately due to my location I don't have the luxury of going elsewhere for cabs.

Prudhoe Bay?

I live in Alabama and managed to find two Astro City cabinets.

If I can find two in this hee-haw knee-slappin toilet bowl filled with 10W-30 and bad teeth, then i'm sure you can find some elsewhere.
 
I also have dealt with Avid on several occasions. No problems here. I felt he actually went above and beyond what I expected when I had a problem.
 
This is what i unwrapped after being promised several things such as

full populated control panels
cabs from Japan as these were from Hong Kong
no burn in, mine all had burn
cleaned up, does this one look clean?
fully working. 2 of my 3 came not working. One i got to work by swapping out the power to a switcher.

I dont hold avid responsible for the shipping damaged but again im not pointing that out. He did tell me in the 40 claims he made from 08-09 that he processed, ZERO got paid out. I ended up getting back some money through him on damage claim and was promised replacement parts to get cabs operational as one didnt even power on and another had a bad monitor adjustment board. How were these even tested per his promises?

Had these came from Japan as promised i dont think we wouldnt have had these issues but according to some guys close to him, he used our prepaid money to buy cabs from japan and shipped these hong kong duds to all the group buy guys.

I don't know avidcollect, and have not purchased from him before. I do, however know of cab importing. When cabs get imported, you are really buying sight unseen. It's hit or miss. Usually, you can pay the distributor a little extra, and they will clean them for you before shipping from hong kong, japan, or wherever. I've helped unload containers of cabs before, and usually, they are stacked in 2 layers, so it isn't hard for them to get damaged if the shipper isn't careful. And, yes, I've seen a couple shipments where half the cabs have broken marquees, control panels, and bezels. From the sounds of it, avidcollect stopped using the distributor that sent the junk cabs (which I don't blame him for in the least). But, that's the problem with a group order. Everyone already is assigned a cab, so there really isn't any room for "oh shit, this one's busted". Until you actually unload the cabs, you are relying on the distributor's honesty. And what are you going to do other than complain to the shipper if the cabs are messed up? Ship them back, and eat up the couple thousand dollar shipping expense in hopes that they feel like giving your money back? Buying cabs overseas is like buying a used car, except the dealer knows you live on the other side of the country, and there's no way you can force him to give you a refund if it isn't like the pictures he sent to you.
 
I have to chime in and second the sentiments of most people already here... Bought a cabinet from him and everything was excellent. Really dont have a single complaint about him or the way the transaction was handled and I would certainly do business with him again.
 
thanks !

to those who are unsatisfied, ive done as much as i could, including refunding the majority and coming to agreement of some sort for parts or partial refund

to those who had a pleasant transaction, hope to see you again
