So my gf and I took a little weekend getaway north of STL on the river road. The main attractions in this small little town are wine tasting and antiquing. They have a big flea market here twice a month and it seems to get a lot of foot traffic. I was there today and a guy had a bunch of slot machines for sale. The venue that holds this flea market is owned and operated by a friend of mine. She was telling me that the guy who sells slots does very well and that I should consider bringing some of my machines up sometime for sale.
For those of you that dont know I have a side biz that buys, sells, and rehabs arcades and coin operated machines. I usually have around 30-40 machines sitting in my warehouse. Since I started my new job in December I have been too busy to tackle a whole lot of "resale" projects so I have some inventory that I would love to unload. Was curious if anyone thinks selling machines at a flea market would be worth the hassle. For a Friday/Saturday showing I could get a space that would be able to show around 10 machines for 50 bucks. I sell a lot of custom multicades so my thinking was even if I didnt sell anything maybe it would be worth the word of mouth advertising. Then again my warehouse is 50 miles from here so that would be 100+ miles in my un-fuel-friendly box truck.
So any opinions? Anyone flea marketers out there ever see coin op stuff for sale at these things?
