sprint54fan Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I have a guy who buys storage units. A locker he bought had some arcade games and some bulk machines. Im looking at the bulk machines. He knows nothing about them, but hes trying so I give him that. I asked him a price and he said make offer! So I will include the three pictures he sent me and the email and you tell me what you guys would offer cash money..I have to drive 3 hours one way to pick them up also.. just to throw that out there.. His email to me: Here is the list of what I have:2 units with 4 prize machines and 5 candy machines.1 unit with 4 prize, 3 candy, 1 sticker machine.2 dual candy machines3 sticker machines8 separate prize machines5 separate candy machines2 boxes of: Coin Mechanisms, extra lids, key tumblers, lots of keys, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick505 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Looks like really good equipment. All Advance flat machines, I don't care for the A&A PN95 1" machines but there are 16 A&A 2" machines and nice racks. This is some nice equipment. I wouldn't go over $1100, start lower, maybe 500.

Rick Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 A TON of work to be done there. As I type this I saw Nick's reply and had the 500 number in my head as well. I'd be up front with him that this equipment is worth more than $500 if he wants to slowly sell everything individually but, given the drive time and the amount of refurb these machines will need - it's a fair number for him. I wouldn't go above $700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprint54fan Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Thats what Im afraid of also..alot of refurb will be needed here.. looks to be nice equipment tho and I would love to have it to add it to routes..but not going to overpay as I can find used equipment alot anymore it seems. I was thinking 500.00 but wanted others opinions first.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go above $700. All the 2" machines look like they could go out as-is, 4 of them have brand new plexi. 16 PM Premiers Even at 40/machine is 640 3 AA45 at 30 dollars each that is 90 5 Advance 3 columns 250 2 Advance 4 columns & heavy duty stands 200 That is 1180 at reasonable used rates...Doesn't include all the PN95's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Fair enough. I think you and differ on our definition of route ready. I agree on the PM Premiers, that's where most of the value comes from here. I'm also factoring in the fact that this seller isn't a bulk vendor, doesn't specialize in this market and sprints travel time. I might be reading the situation wrong, but he's also doing this guy a favor by taking everything in one transaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick505 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Of course he is and the guy doesn't know the names of the machines or anything like that to look them up. That is why I said start at 500, but it wouldn't be unreasonable to go as high as 1000 if you need machines. It looks like there is stuff there for a 4th 9 way rack (chrome) there also. I was just stating as in a wipe down and assembly for route ready. The paint on a couple of the sticker machines is the only exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprint54fan Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 I saw the two side chrome rack panels but not the middle panels but that would work as I have the panels (chrome) in storage to build a way.. I will shoot him 500.00 cash offer tomorrow afternoon and see what he says.. all he can say is no.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick505 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 One of the rack shelves is in the middle picture under the pile of machines. I envy you if you can get it for 500. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Ditto - hope you can come to an agreement with him. Hope you follow up and let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He kept playing the game of make me an offer make me an offer..he said a few amusement operators came to buy the arcade games... I told him Im not going to make an offer just yet until he throws out a figure to work with.. he came back with 300.00 for all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprint54fan Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 Thanks guys..it was luck to find it..right place at right time I guess! Ill upgrade locations on the route and I need one rack now for a new laundry mat I picked up the other week. So they should go out pretty quick. The guy said they all are in actually good condition..not beat up and all very badly.. so I hope for the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
