Here's my driveway from a few years ago when Pacs and Ms Pacs were bringing big bucks at auction; these days, not so much :-(

Uh..... I don't think they have been earning very much after the first two years they were out.
Seeing any arcade games in the wild especially classics these days is unusual. imo.
I'd agree, except for Ms Pacs. Of course by now many of them are trashed beyond all recognition. I still see them in laundromats and convenience stores. I still see cocktail ms. pacs once in a while. I really think there are only a few games from the golden age of arcades that can be considered "classic" in the sense that people will still pay money to play them - Ms. Pac and Galaga, and that's about it.

Probably a route operator, or he just managed to collect them over time, hoping for a big score. This is the wrong time to be selling.......
I don't even see arcade games in laundromats anymore (not that I use them, but I look through the windows when I pass by), and where does it make more sense to have an arcade game? You're waiting around with nothing to do, and have quarters in-hand.
Very sad what has happened to the arcade industry. As time goes on, it seems people are only wanting to interact within their own tiny little world, which means they'd rather be at home on Facebook than at an arcade. But I suppose this has always been the case for a lot of people, since so many people were willing to fork out $30 for home versions (plus $100-200 for the consoles) even back then.

If there empty I'd build some jamma cabs with them. The cab is light, small and easy to work with.
still laughing at this...
and with the humidity in Alabama, I would imagine you could put a nice hole in a lot of them with just your finger!

While some people do have plenty of trouble with ebay, I have never had an issue ever. Ironic huh? I'm sure I missed the details because I wasn't that interested in the auction.

I have already been down there to look at his stuff and all is water damaged. Games have been rained on for 8 yrs. Some are so bad the are huge holes in the tops and most of the bottoms are gone. I passed on them for cheaper than he has them listed
I know you deal with people with warehouses full of games. So why do you think these people let these games get in such a bad state that they are almost worthless?

They were making money hand over fist with poker machines and they just used these as fillers. These guys got very rich for the most part and if you think I am a crook you should deal with these guys. This guy is name is Willy T so that should tell you something

Sometimes a little of both. You need to make your way down and go game climbing with me. I will take you to a warehouse where they are stacked 3 stories high

No way! Talk about a blast from the past! Willy's pacs from about 8 years ago? These must have come out of a warehouse in shelbyville tn. They had around 30 pacs lined up all missing boards, I passed but later bought out what willy left over. Ahhh the good old days. I also saw about 20-30 pacs at another warehouse (old school building) in SC, all stacked on their sides, guy wanted way to much probably still there. Is the 3 story place in downtown Chattanooga?
