TELEGAMES and Pocket Reversi

[MsPacBitchy]

I know this came up in an earlier topic, but I just wanted to make sure you NGPC fans don't waste your time or money with Telegames. I'm not sure about Telegames UK, but Telegames USA ***DOES NOT*** have any UK copies of Pocket Reversi in stock. They are all Japanese. I e-mailed the sales department at Telegames and was told outright that the games they had were European.

I went ahead and called to be sure, and a very nice telephone representative called the warehouse to check and then called me back with the bad news. She was nice. The e-mail sales person wasn't very professional and was certainly ignorant to his company's stock.

My experiences with Telegames in general have been crap.

It's common knowledge you don't get a bargain with Telegames. If it looks to good to be true with them, it is.

UK Telegames is the same, i think someone from the forum ordered one thinking it would be the UK Edition and they sent him the Japanese version! I think he got a refund!

If you really want to buy from Telegames UK, phone them first and confirm what they have in, which is not a lot! <img src="graemlins/veryangry.gif" border="0" alt="[Very Angry]" />

I know... but i saw some Telegames reps at the Las Vegas CGE show this year (a couple of surly old dudes with shitty attitudes) and I bought a new NGPC Last Blade UK version for $30. Shock!

Every other dealing with them has been crap.

the world would be a better place is things like customs and VAT were wiped off. There's probably a small postoffice in Scotland with a box full of pocket reversi that wasn't picked up because the VAT was so high, and the recipient figured it wasn't worth it.

There only one company worth buying from, good honest fellows who's reputation precedes them -

Finnil's and Echo's NGPC Emporium Incorporated Limited Company is the only place to go!! The Director, 2D, is such a nice guy!

He's always to busy too have a pint !

Ya know, we must have typed that at exactly the same time........ even telepathic at our office. However, being the Director, i have felt a tad like a middle man recently. <img src="graemlins/spock.gif" border="0" alt="[Spock]" />

Hey echo, I saw that one auction you won - the one with the 13 sealed games - how much didja hafta bribe that guy to get him to close it early? ;-P But no, really, what was the deal there?? It looks like you got the best deal ever...

 

[2D]

Not bloody far wrong on that one, i did have another were i got 20 Cherry Masters for £60. Got a good profit on that in the end.

The bribe was an ounce a' snuff and an old tin of sardines i found washed upon the shore......

Is it obvious that i am currently a tad bored in work? <img src="graemlins/loco.gif" border="0" alt="[Loco]" />

 

[snkneogeousaCTH]

But really... Why did he end that auction early?

 

[2D]

Hmm, to be honest, i would say ignorance. His reserve was £55 so i offer quite a bit more and he accepted, nuff said. Both parties happy and him none the wiser.......

 

[snkneogeousaCTH]

Brilliant... perfectly brilliant. Did he tell you where he came across such a large lot of rare sealed games???

 

[2D]

Nope, although i think he may have a games store or something as he was selling off other gaming stuff. Maybe he picked it up as a job lot. I asked him if he could get anymore, but he said no.
