Buy from Coinopstore if you enjoy buying junk

You got any broken Crazy Taxi machines you're selling as new that'll you'll blame the preexisting damage on "shipping"?

Got any Neo Geo MVS MV1C 1 slot boards that you're selling as original that are nothing more than bootlegs? (Look at the one on the Coinopstore site then find a pic of an original..They are boots.)

Those refurbished units you're selling...Hope your shop guys don't "half ass" the order again...And "accidentally" send out one that wouldn't be anything more than a dirty, partial or completely broken, piece of junk that seemingly was never tested. Make sure you encourage people to pay for white glove delivery, but then don't actually order it for them.

But hey, if there's a problem he'll give you a full refund right? He'll tell you he will, but won't deliver on it...Try and stall for 45 days so you won't be covered by Paypal...Let his track record speak to his honesty.

And do I even need to bring up the Neo Geo group order????

But hey, don't take my word for it...Google "coinopstore"....See if you'll feel confident in the least giving this scammer a dime of your money....Promises everything, delivers on nothing...Shows a good cab, sends a junk cab...Sends you junk, then won't give a full refund but gives partial money back..Hey, junk is out of his hands, right??

This isn't flaming...It's fact...I can back up everything mentioned here with a link to someone's story....As I said, buy at your own risk...He's not the only person selling arcade cabs and pcbs in town...You're just inviting headaches dealing with someone this dishonest.

See who you're dealing with here: http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=123471 As I said...Don't just take my word for it..Read it all...Or check out some of his spotless feedback here: http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=208846&highlight=kingsley Now it's time for the excuses to start flying!!!!

Don't do business with Coinopstore if you are going to jump on the flaming bandwagon

Do business with Coinopstore if you would like a pleasant transaction handled by a our newly hired trained, organized, and efficient warehouse staff.

Just got more 60's btw

And have tekken 6 bloodline rebellion full kit 3850 price reduced!

As I said. Let the excuses start flying. I get it....Coinopstore is the victim here....Not the people you've ripped off, and had to refund money to, or some unfortunately, not at all.

Also as I said, it's not flaming if it's simple truth. You have more merchandise "damaged in shipping" than any seller could possibly hope to compete with. Why doesn't thegameroom have feedback like you do? They ship all over the country and there's nothing but good feedback about them. They're doing the same thing you are but the difference is they are doing it the right way.

And what about selling bootlegs as original like your MV1Cs on your very own website? Who are you going to blame that on? This has nothing to do with shipping, but has everything to do with you being dishonest. You're in charge of what you sell and how you describe it. Who else is to blame to for what your "shop" sends out as "completely restored" and when it comes it has cigarette ash in the control panel, it's completely flithy, the marquee light doesn't work, and chassis caps are so bad the screen is waving all over the place and it won't hold its shape? Who else is to blame when you make promises to customers but don't keep your word?

This is called karma. You get what you put out there in the world. It's not like one person had something negative to say about your business and the merchandise you sell...It's A LOT of people! So let me get this right.....Everyone else is wrong, and you're right I guess. You're living in a fantasy world to think you can do "business" this way and not have it come back to you. Well, it's coming back to you in the form of negative reviews, comments, and warnings to others to think twice about buying your junk. If you don't like it, make right on what you've done and stop doing crappy business. Or you can just avoid answering for how you've conducted business in the past and pretend like everything is okay and has always been okay. Believe me, the people you've screwed over are not going to forget as easily as you have.

havent i offered already to right any wrongs? all you got to do is send a pm or email and we'll get things squared away. the people who have come up to me ive done what i could and gave full refund or came to an agreement of some sort where both parties were satisfied.

to those who are still bitter about any transaction with me, but have not got in touch with me and voiced their opinions, what the hell do you want me to do? how can i fix your problem if you don't tell me your problem, yet you keep saying how i do this and i do that...

for your reference if you want to speak on behalf of others please get proper facts before doing so, i have all the emails in a folder for transactions handled in a unprofessional manner that have been resolved with a satisfied customer. if you'd like, email me and ill send them to you at the approval of the customer. so i dont see why you keep bringing up all these closed subjects, dont you have anything better to do?

and EMAIL EMAIL EMAIL EMAIL me your response, this is a issue between me and the customer and not for the whole world who can care less. so lets keep this to ourselves and out of this thread ok? you can start another thread somewhere else and talk shit there, just not here. thanks in advance.


have a great monday btw, bump bump
 
As if when I "email you" all of the sudden you'll become a more honest person. That's a waste of both of our time, as if you were a good business you wouldn't have so many poor transactions. I "emailed" you when I was a customer and you lied to me and sold me bootleg merchandise as original, plus knowingly forced me to take a refund through paypal because otherwise I'd have nothing and be out shipping money for a cabinet...So really, emailing doesn't make you any more honest or any less of a scammer.

I'm speaking for myself. But if you want to ignore all the other stories I guess you have to do what you have to do.

Bottomline, Coinopstore and Kingsley the owner are scammers. Do not trust them.

And who the hell are you MegaGraffin??? I should believe you because??? You come on here just to start shit. Let me just say this. I have had over 20 successful transactions with Kingsley. and will keep doing business with him, no matter what some newbie slinging shit says.

Look at his feedback here 100% positive, He has treated the people on this forum good.
Go home TROLL!!:eek:

I am a former customer of Kingsleys from this summer. If you want to read about my transaction go into the Avidcollect feedback thread.

If you're all for siding with someone who's screwed numerous people that makes you a douche too. I guess as long as you haven't gotten ripped off that's all that matters huh???

I'm performing a public service here. There isn't a giant arcade scene out there and I don't want other new people to scene to be taken by him exactly like I was.

And as for believing me? You're already set to rub up against Kingsley and coinopstore so I doubt there's much I could do to change your mind and that's cool. You can have an opinion different than me and not believe my story.

As I've said, let googling "coinopstore" and "coinopstore kingsley" be your guide. But hey, maybe everyone is lying right djw90????? I'm the only person he and his store have screwed over. I'm making this all up!!! lol...Keep making excuses for a scammer and he'll continue to scam. But hey, as I said, just google him...Unless it's a big conspiracy right, djw90?

Now you come back with personal attacks and call me names WOW!!:confused: Like I said I have had over 20 successful transactions with Kingsley. And would buy from him again tomorrow.

My suggestion is that you start a new thread in the general section to do your bashing, instead of trashing on someones forsale thread.

you say he is a scammer. Name 1 thing thats a scam that he has posted for sale in this thead???:rolleyes:

Well, you started with the aggressive tone ("And who the hell are you MegaGraffin??? I should believe you because??? You come on here just to start shit.") in a thread that seemingly has little to do with you. Just like with Kingsley, you get back what you put out there. That aside...

This thread...Who knows? What he does is sell something as one thing and then when you receive it, it's something different or significantly not as described, or broken, etc.....But here's a good one..

Unless he's removed it....Go to his website..And search/look on his homepage for his MVS 1 slots....They are not noted as being bootlegs but they are...And even the picture he uses (which is exactly the item he sends) is a bootleg...Compare that pic, with a pic of a real MV1C...A real MV1C with have a different visible chip layout, and say "Jamma" above the Jamma connection...His does not because it's a bootleg...As I said, he doesn't say anywhere or tell anyone these are bootleg PCBs.

I got stuck with one of these bootlegs without knowing, and what do you know? It had problems with every cart it played...I got an authentic MV1C and no problems....So that's more money wasted ...

I didn't just pick coinopstore out of a hat out of millions of businesses in the US and say, "Yeah, I'm just going to make stuff up about them." I'm also not someone who's never dealt with the guy, that just wants to vicariously vent against him...If you're curious about our transaction, and what he promised and specifically said, while I've deleted the ebay messages, I still think I have a good number of transactions saved in my hotmail account.

I continue to intend to make potential customers of his aware of my prior experience with him. They can decide for themselves if that's how they'd like to spend their money. As I've said, it's not bashing if it's the truth..Which it is 100%. I can't stand to think of him scamming those who didn't know any better (like I did)..

No aggressive tone at all!!! All Legitimate questions Avidcollect has been member here since 2008 in that time period, I have had only good deals with him as many others here have. His feedback reflects it with a 100% feedback rating. Has he ever had a deal that went wrong?? yea I have seen a few, but he was always willing to make the situation right, from what I have seen. So again why should I take your word for this?? Who are you?? What makes you and your 7 posts credible? I have over twice as many successful deals with him, than you have posts.

Personally I dont know what your deal is with Him, and I dont really care. You admit in your other posts that you came to KLOV to call him out. That was your reason for joining our group. :rolleyes:

The for sale section is not the place for flame wars. Again I ask you what listed in this for sale post is a Scam?? Looks like kingsley has tried to make things right with you!!

If you want to inform people of your dealings, Start a thread in the general section. Dont clutter our for sale section with this crap. What are you going to attack every for sale post the guy makes??

To answer your questions what do you get when you google coinopstore. Yea I see the one link to the Neo forums, but there are plenty of good posts too. Here are some of the things I read.

We have done business with Kingsley over the past year and he is a great person to deal with. Always fast shipping and great prices. We build custom units and he supplies us on a regular basis ! Richard Newman [email protected] www.game-sales.net " - Richard Newman www.game-sales.net"

I have been looking for a classic cocktail ms pacman arcade game for quite some time. Not only did the coinopstore beat everyone else's prices, but their video game system came built brand new with 60 games and a one year warranty. It was delivered to my front door and set up as promised. I have been very pleased with the quality of this system and the ease of use. It appears to be well built and cleanly designed. Customer service has also been top-notch... all my questions have been answered within the same day. If anyone is looking for any type of arcade game, I would tell them to not waste time looking around and just go straight to the coinopstore. "Josh"


Bought a New Astro City cabinet from the Coinopstore. Reasonable price shipped to Texas, the cabinet was well protected and driveway delivered. Cabinet had a minor monitor issue I imagine due to shipping but it was taken care of promptly by seller. Overall great experience and I will definitely buy again. " - Alex Costa"

I bought this game for my husband for fathers day 2008 and he LOVES it. It has a lot of older games from when he was young and he play it all the time!" - Kristy"I love this game, it has been a lot of fun. Had to tune the game a little after it arrived but the guys at coinopstore gave me good directions. Well worth the price!" - Matt M."

I was very impressed with the cutomer service. I've dealt with people on the arcade message boards and I've experienced a lot of very selfish scammers. However, coinopstore is great! I had some problems and they worked with me (even after months of the board just sitting there). They helped me diagnose the problem and didn't leave me stuck with a bad board. They made everything right and gave me a full refund!" - Mark Richardson"

Kingsley at Coinopstore has always been great with his correspondence and very quick and accurate with orders. When I'm low on inventory and don't have time to buy from overseas, Coinopstore has always been able to come through for me and keeps a good amount of product in stock." - Jay, GridBug Media"

I am overwhelmed, my experience with Coinopstore was fabulous. I had complete confidence and ease of communication throughout my transaction, even though I am on the other side of the continent. My game arrived as described and had been handled with care during the shipping process. The price was very fair and shipping was too, there was even an overcharge on the shipment which I wanted to honor but was refused because it wasn't included in my quote. I will definitely be a repeat customer and would recommend Coinopstore to anyone interested in purchasing an arcade cabinet. They really cater to the video game enthusiast! " - Jeff Prescott

Your positive feedback quote is all from Kingsley's website...What do you think he'd post? That is not independent feedback...Plus, a legit business shouldn't have numerous complaints...Maybe a few (considering the size of the Coinopstore business)....Does Coinopstore just have 1 or 2? No they don't...THey have an extremely disproportionate amount of negative feedback for the amount of business they do. He doesn't run a giant corporation or anything like that. Where are the pages and pages of complaints about thegameroom? That's a comparable competitor...Shouldn't it be roughly the same? It should but I'd have trouble finding any negative feedback about them.

You obviously don't want to believe what I'm saying, and if you like, you can continue to fund a scammer/bad businessman...You can't say you haven't been warned but like any good scammer, he doesn't scam everyone because then he'd be busted...He does it here and there so you have contrasting feedback to balance stuff out in the eyes of the uninformed.

Maybe you're a rich guy...Or girl...I don't know...I am not. I work hard for my money and anyone that blantantly lies to me and tricks me out of money and then attempts to wash their hands of the deal...I'm sorry but I don't forget that easily...Forcing me, in a sense, to take a refund or be out 600 plus dollars for return shipping with nothing to show for it...That isn't making squat right..Selling what you claim to sell is not much to ask of anyone...Not promising what you can't and won't deliver is also not asking the world.

Don't believe me. Don't actually learn anything about my transaction..I just picked Coinopstore out of thin air...It's all a lie...It never happened...He's a great guy and everyone he deals with is happy with him and his products...People he ripped off should just shut up and let him do it to others....Everything he sells is as advertised...The guy has the worst luck when it comes to shipping in the history of transportation agencies...

I hope anyone that runs a crappy business and cheats/frauds people out of money isn't in business for any longer than they have to be.
 
I just got through with a transaction with Kingsley and it did have its issues, but they were all resolved. I bought a New Astro for a pretty decent price. It was described as used but completely working. The monitor had multiple issues. I emailed Kingsley and he had me ship the board out to a repair guy in CA at his expense. His repair guy apparently didn't know how to fix it because I got it back in worse condition than it started. I emailed Kingsley again and requested to have it fixed locally and he pay the charges. He agreed. I sent him the invoice and he paid it. No problems. It was quite an annoyance to have to wait three months to use this cab that was supposed to be working, but he did take care of it with no excuses or questions asked. He is a nice fellow and I do hope that he has gotten his operation sorted out as he states.

Another thing of note. The damage was not done in shipping according to the repair guy so this cab was not tested before going out. Test those cabs Kingsley! It will save you a bunch of time and money. If it's not working, sell it as needing repair for a bit less. There's a lot of technically proficient people in these forums who will buy broken cabs for the right price. You will still come out ahead, not have this headache to deal with and have happy customers in the end.
 
recently got a new astro from Kingsley. price was fair and I got pretty much what I expected. I didn't know about all the problems people have had with him so I guess maybe I was lucky.

something a bit sketchy did happen though, after 3 weeks of no notice or call from the shipping company to schedule delivery I checked in and was told my cab was lost in shipping. He failed to inform me of this, you would think they would find out when something as large as an arcade cabinet was lost, and then inform the customer but I heard nothing. So either that was not true (the first time around I didn't receive any tracking info so I have no way to know for sure) or once he ships out that's it, it's your responsibility to track it and let him know if it doesn't show up, not too big a deal but it's just another thing to add to the list.

I can't complain about the machine though, it's scuffed up and fairly dirty but that's what I expected, nothing a little work won't clean up. the monitor looks great and that's the most important thing to me.
