Congrats on the save arrival on safe arrival of what is undoubtedly an awesome haul of machines.

With so many machines in the storage shed, is there any chance that you will be selling any as is project type machines?

Not unless it is someones "Holy Grail", or a duplicate title. I often get requests for older games, and some of these fill those requests. Some members ask me to locate and sell "as is" - which I will do, but I don't usually sell other games "as is" for two key reasons ;

1 - It takes the enjoyment of restoration away from me  !!!
2 - I don't want to be put into the same category as "Container Importers"   *.*

My Business model works on restoration, and I source my own games to restore. Technically, I am a "container importer", as so was my father in the 50's. But I don't want a reputation for providing "cheap" project games to newbies that expect working games. In my experiences, this will cause issues with reputation. I am in the Business of restoration because I LOVE the work. The more machines in storage, the more choices people have.

I have targeted older games, because there is demand for the classics, and historically, the standards of older games have been very low.

Blair - if there is something you are looking for, or something you would like - PM me. I have more overseas.
