ricjo vending Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I have an opportunity to purshase a 25+ machines(pinball,video,sit down driving games,gun games,cranes and others) fully established arcade in a mini mall, opens weekend only.He nets $15000 per year.I been in the bulk business and some full line for 10+ years.My full time job is get slower do to the economy and I feel like its time to grow.This might be the right time.My question is to arcade/amusement vets how long would you wait or should it take to pay it off.

nosebreaker Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 What is he asking for this? Is it fully unattended? Sounds to me like its not worth it to be honest (first impression)! I thought arcades were a dying thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryLipp Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 This may be a regional thing, I'm in California, I cannot remember the last Arcade that was not part of a waterslide - mini golf - amusement park situation. Here I would say pay the value of the machines and not one pennt more, then open up your hours, attend it yourself and figure out some contest and give-away's to do. Get some of the more popular guest working for you by offering free pay.. I am in the marketing bus. if you move forward drop me a PM and I'll shoot you some ideas. I agree, this is a dieing deal, you want an game, pull out your phone or use one of the 2-4 home vid games or jump on the computer. If you create a buzz with some of the direct social; interactions I've suggested, you could do very well - then again the reason I am suggesting you pay only the value of the machines is so you have something of a chance to get out with your shirt.
