Quoted from sepins:The real issue is Stern's lack of presence here at Pinside.
Secondary issue is their poor communication and total lack of REAL customer service. This BS of going through Your Distributor for sales and service is a PITA! And their distribution system sucks hind tit! Everyone paying different prices for a pin and the LE pump is done in my book. Almost forgot distributors going in to stealth mode and having their buddies sell their pins over list price for them!
Done buying new Sterns. Will take my hit on Metallica and I'm done. And sad part is I didn't want Metallica that badly... it was really just trying to help a fellow Pinhead. Now have an unopened MoPLE I'd like to dump!
And I'm blessed that a loss on a game doesn't affect me. I feel bad for the guys that get jammed up with these Sterns cuz they can't afford a $2000 beating.
Beat on JJP all You want...But he doesn't hide like Gary does when it comes to issues. And I can buy my game directly from him...NO F'ing Distributor!!!
And I would love to someday tell the story about the BIBLE and Stern but I'm sworn to secrecy...For now!
Stern not coming on Pinside isn't the problem. Them coming on here is a no win scenario. They would be blowing on fires just making them bigger, and it would be a disaster. There are plenty of distributors on here acting as shill cheerleaders.
Jack does have a distributor, and you cannot order directly from Jersey Jack Pinball. Even directly from Jack you are actually buying from Pinball Sales. There is also a distribution network. If you are setting up a company like that, a lawyer would probably advise you to do the same.
And you sound a bit like ... Does the first rule of Pinside prevent me from pointing out how immature it sounds when you post on a public forum that you have inside information that you won't share? That really reads "Nah nah, nah nah nah, I know something you don't know."
