I personally would pass unless he wanted to start splitting things up. Plus in my experience, "stored in garage" = "filthy, stinky and probably has animals living in it".
 
The bowler is probably worth some coin too. If the stuff is in good shape, you could probably keep what you want and sell the rest and get a good chunk of your money back. Too bad its way out of my price range.
 
Seems like the 3 jukeboxes and the terminator 2 pinball would be worth that.

Really? Have jukeboxes got value these days? I've had operators offer me semi loads of 45 boxes for free...I thought they were complete boat anchors?

I do agree about the T2 pinball though...it's probably the highest $ piece on the list.

I called and talked to the guy at length. First of all, he told me the T2 was NOT in the deal...just one he has in his possession but has no intention of selling it.

Second, the stuff isn't stored in a garage. It's been stored in a trailer for a couple years if I'm remembering what he said correctly.

I think the stuff is probably worth $5500 if you went through it all, cleaned it all up, rebuilt the monitors, and sold it piece by piece on eBay (assuming everything is at least in reasonable condition).

But what a lot of work for nothing. After you rent a truck and pay for gas, time, storage, parts, eBay fees, etc....what's the point. I agree, it needs to be cheaper if anyone is going to make money on it.

Unless of course all of it is cherry - then it's a steal even at $5500. But he won't share pictures (at least that's what he told me...he said it was all packed into a cramped trailer and he couldn't get pictures if he wanted to).

Also, I don't think he's going to come down in price. When I talked to him he said he had so many people calling - ringing his phone off the hook. And numerous groups coming out to look. I don't think low-balling is an option anymore. But maybe after the dust settles and no one bites at $5500.

Good luck guys! I can't wait to hear how this one pans out!

Condsidering this is what we do 5500.00 is way off base, if we were going to try to get it I would offer 2500.00 for it. If he was local 3800.00
