Quoted from Blenderhead:

Here's my story. I made a purchase through ebay. I never received the item. I contacted Jeff and explained that tracking indicated "cannot deliver as addressed". I verified he had the correct address. He NEVER REPLIED to my emails. I contacted Ebay and explained. Their reply? "We see it marked as shipped" so they sided with the seller! (Classic Arcades) Why did they side with the seller? Well... the only reason I could see was that the seller pays them lots of seller fees of course! If you ask me..I would say that Classic Arcades and Ebay don't give a crap about the purchaser. It is well noted that if you have any discrepancy with either you are likely hosed. I bitched to ebay, wasted about an hour of my time, just to get a "one time" refund. F both of them if you ask me. I will never buy from Classic Arcades and am ore then fine being "blacklisted" with that schmuck!

Thanks for posting your encounter. I'll learn from this and stay away from this seller. Good timing as I'm looking for a few pinball decals right now. Anyone have a good alternative seller?

Quoted from oldschoolbob:

Rick and Jeff are in it together - Rick sent me a private e-mail then copied Jeff. I will not deal with either of them.

Amen brother

Quoted from PinPlayer2:

I was thinking of ordering Jeff's backside backbox warning decal/sticker (yellow lettering)?
Can anyone vouch for the quality of them? I am gun shy now!
Any other options?

I'd stay away from anything Jeff is selling. The pictures above speak for themselves. He (seller of crappy decals) should've just refunded and been done with it. This thread will no doubt divert MANY potential sales away from him and personally I'm glad the op opened this thread. I like to learn from my pinball brothers and support sellers who are actually good for the hobby.

I recently picked up a project Firepower and have been shopping for a stencil kit. I'm going to restore it myself. I found one on EBay and just before I clicked the buy button the picture of the classic arcade guy reminded me of something. I seemed to remember reading a thread about this seller. Glad I remembered this thread, took me a while to find it again but thanks to the op on this one....I think I just "dodged a bullet"
I'm going to learn from others and take the advice to buy from Pinballpimp. Why try a shady seller over a $10 difference?
