Anyone know this copy cat out of Atlanta named Jeff Kimble, if so he will try and screw you anyway he can: What a piece of work this guy is. I was buying a Stoner Cafe from Lloyd at Coin Op Warehouse on Monday to restore for a customer, I was the first person to see this machine as Lloyd called me to meet him as they got back with it. It was new old stock out of the crate, not perfect but as nice as you will ever find. I told Lloyd I'll take it and Paypal him, Sold! Jeff Kimble calls Lloyd, trying to buy it Lloyd tells him it's sold, I have no Problem there but now this piece of work copy cat calls my customer of 14 years, tells him not to buy the machine from me as he saw it and it's a Pig n a Poke, now first of all he never saw it other than a picture and he tells my customer not to buy mine, because he has one he would sell him & keep in mind I gave this piece of work Jeff Kimble a Mirror from an old Stoner Cafe because he was missing one he was doing for himself. He sends pictures of it done to my customer and it was a carbine copy down to every last decal placement of the Howard Johnson's Coffee Shop Machine I did for my customer years ago even the colors were dead on.From a once old friend Jeff Kimble was told I was looking to do another one the same way for my customer. So he tries to steer my customer away from buying the Stoner Cafe I just got from Coin Op Warehouse by lying to him. He copies my machine to the tee and tries to sell it to my customer because he new I was hunting a Stoner Cafe down to do another Howard Johnson's for this customer. (My Customer did not buy it from him)
If your going to try and sell my customers a machine after I was nice enough to help you out, have the creativity to come up with something on your own, He copied my machine, Graphics, colors, decals were even in the same exact spots, This takes nerve, Jeff Kimble is a real piece of work who looks for a free ride on the shirt tales of others creativity. Most who know him or have had dealings with him has nothing good to say about him.
BEWARE OF ANY DEALINGS WITH THIS GUY!

Sounds like a bad deal Curtis. I would be pissed if I was in your shoes also. Try and help a guy out and get dumped on.  |

Geez, sorry to hear about that. That's a shame. You would think that he would leave well enough alone, especially your customer who you have dealt with for many years.

I've dealt with his brother Terry for years, whom I've never had an issue with. I believe they used to own a business together, but don't anymore - wonder why??

That is a bunch of bull. What a d**k.  Although the words dork and duck fit into the word d**k. It's a different word I am thinking of. I'll, just call him Richard.  I guess you can take your "old friend" off of you Christmas card list. |
