    Here's the story. Wanted some insert decals and Magna Save Decal for a BK2000 and saw that Classic Arcades did them on eBay. Only problem was I wanted the laminated versions. Contacted Jeff who was happy to supply what I wanted for an extra $12.
    Ordered through eBay (along with a few other bits) and went through checkout adding notes about wanting laminated versions and requested invoice due to combined shipping.

    Invoice came quickly but no mention of added costs for laminating and asked the question and the reply was he would invoice me separately.

    Anyway paid for items and got a notification that item had shipped next day.
    Again no issues as parcel arrived quickly (to the UK) but the insert decals and magna save were not laminated. Jeff replied quickly stating the decals were hard wearing but if I wanted laminated ones as requested he would send out free of charge. I said yes and offered to pay the additional $12 outstanding to at least cover postage.

    To cut this long story short, no replacements, only one reply following numerous emails saying he would send them again. Now no replies. Think he was just stringing me along so that I couldn't do a charge back via Paypal.

    Buyers beware!!!!!!

    can you cut a piece of mylar for them?

    I've had some issues with these guys in the past but I dont think his motives were to screw you over. Just be persistent (i know you were already) and continue to be because I think he just forgets or has a lot on his plate. He will eventually send it out.

    I'm told the high speed insert decals don't line up. Fortunately there's a great community here that have correctly artwork. I would see if someone here has the same for bk2k and just print your own on a waterslide decal (which you have to spray with clear or laminate after printing anyway before applying)

    I have printed several decals using my color laser printer on regular sticker paper and Mylar. Print it, Mylar it, cut it out and stick it on. So far they're all holding up well and if anything goes wrong ill print them again.

    I ordered Pinbot decals from him a while back and half of the multiplier inserts and a couple other had totally wrong fonts and couldn't use them. All attempts to contact him were ignored. I had no choice but dispute with ebay to get my money back. I gave him negative feedback and he was all too quick to reply to my negative feedback. I sent them back unused to him per ebay's request and ordered a set from Bay Area Amusements and they were perfect. He's a waste of time!

    Sounds like you have to clear coat the playfield to me. Laminated insert decals are to high anyway. Messes with the ball.

    ^^^Meaning I got them from the guy we are talking about, not bay area.
