no one ever sells a profitable business. people only sell business's which are losing money or just breaking even. if a business is making money, and the owner is sick of working, they usually install a manager to run things, and the owner sits at home and collects the profits.

as soon as that manager gets into you cash business,then you normal go broke not long after. *%*

You'd really have to trust your manager if you decided to sit at home and hope the profits contine? risky business !@#

Seems to be more of a rumor, and should be treated as such until either party makes an announcment (if any).

Geez, you couldn't be further from reality there. I've sold several profitable businesses over the years for different reasons. it's not always about how profitable it is, sometimes you have different priorities.  I've also used the "put a manager in" model too, which is pretty much the best way to ruin a business unless you're very, very lucky!!

I think there is a bit more to just selling pins to Bumper Action isn't there??????  The doors wouldn't still be open if it was that bad you'd think.

Yes, like most pinball rumours I am taking this one with a grain bucketload of salt until proven true.
