I cant understand why they didnt accept my $10,000 offer.lol  #@# #@#

He would be soooo much better having a huge AUCTION and selling them off that way if no-one takes the bundle and the listing drags on for too long.

His pricing works out to be around $220,000 (220 grand) for 167 items which according to my calculator is $1,317 per item.

Is each item worth on average $1317 when u look at that list which has alot of very cheap arcade items, and some pinball.?
Then u have to pay a semi-trailer to pick up n ship, plus storage ?

Perhaps a single days auction and alot of punters might be a alternative.

I have to agree with you Cavey. Hard to see them all going for that price in one lot. You've got to start somewhere thought suppose. You'd have to expect potential buyers will try to bargain the price down considerably. See the shipping was 15k on top of that too.

AFM is shown in the picture but not listed in the description.

TSPP is the best of the pins, the rest are B listers or below.

Mmmm, Shaq Attack....

Wonder if the infamous "throwing perfectly good machines off the roof" has harmed his business to the point where he has to sell overpriced machines ?

If he has too many, why not just throw these off the roof ?

I thought that for the price they are asking, they could throw in the arcade building lease also.

If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.

I didn't realise it was these guys. Perhaps if you bargain hard enough they'll sweeten the deal with some of the roof rejects as well!

They will also help load YOUR truck. So I gather you park around the rear, and they (literally) throw them in the back of your truck !

I think they are only selling the stuff that was too heavy to get up to the roof.lol  %.% %.%

Either that, or they did their backs in last time, and now they just cant physically get them up there anymore.  @.@

Or is this their way of saying to the public, we cant be trusted to look after arcade machines, because we abuse them and we are in counselling, so u had better take the poor orphans whilst they are still alive.lol  %.% %.% %.% %.%

The video where they take a sledgehammer to a very nice lookin Bally ROLLING STONES is by far the most sickening.. is very hard to watch as they all shout and cheer.

This lot are just a bunch of F**kwits
