Crap, I was afraid of this. I sent Arcade2000 almost $1,800 back in November of 1999 and have gotten the same excuses about Custom Arcade holding up my order, then the one about Andy cutting his hand, but as I saw nobody else complaining I thought maybe everything was ok, and barring that that I would probably have to get a full refund. Now I see that others have asked for their money back and not gotten that either. I could have built my own cabinet for half the price I paid and been playing it months ago. Well, good luck everyone, I hope we all get our money back!!


: I'm in the same situation with Arcade 2000.

: * He promised delivery by Oct 4 99 (I had a party planned for the 5th)
: * I sent him 1750.00 USD on Sep 2 99, he cashed the checks within a week.
: * I got various excuses ("ass-dragging", unasked for enhancements, problems
: with mob-related partner, etc.) until I began asking for my money back at
: Thanksgiving.
: * He claims to have shipped it 2nd week of Dec 99, but they were stolen
: enroute (instead of using ForwardAir like claims on the web page and in
: in various emails, he supposedly sent them with friends of his ex-partner)
: * He then stopped responding to email (except when I sent from other
: email addresses and asked about ordering -- those he answered within an
: hour claiming the same 5-week turnaround he promised in Sept.) until I
: contacted one of the places he advertized and asked them to help me contact
: him.
: * He's been promising a full refund since then, and in January claimed he
: was getting a bank loan to repay Ken and me.
: * February he supposedly had bank problems.
: * In mid-March he claimed to have gotten the loan and was sending the
: checks on Mar 27 00. He hasn't responded to any emails since Mar 28 00,
: although I see he's been posting on here as recently as Mar 18.
