Big thanks out to 7146aaron for helping move several hundred games

I know that this probably should be in the feedback area, but i know that not near as many read that area.

I had to pick up a bunch of games today, this was the second trip and todays total was around 245 machines. Aaron drove 100 miles to meet me just to help me load the trucks. and it was alot to load. We had 2 53 foot semi trailers, a 26 foot trailer, a 18 foot trailer, a 16 foot trailer and then the bed of aarons truck.

This was the second trip so far this week that i had to make, the first was 60 machines, bringing the total for the week to right around 300.

There are still a little over 100 games left, and aaron volunteered to come help with that load as well. Hedid not ask for compensation, and even said that he would do it just for the experience of being able to say that he helped move that many games at a time

Thanks again Aaron, it was much appreciatted, I just wish that you could have came an helped unload as well, lol. Im jello now. cant feel my arms at all

Oh did I forget to mention, the heat index today was 116 I sure picked a great day to do this!!

Weren't these 8-liners or whatever, do those really qualify as 'games'?

 

[djw90]

WOW thats alot of games to move in one day. Were they all the 8 liners or were there classics too?

id say they qualify as games, Im guessing im about the only person on the groups that has a stash of over 300 working 19 inch monitors. and since they are not made anymore, thats something worth having. I just store my monitors in a gambling cabinet instead of on a sehlf

Games

Thank you for the kind words. I feel pretty good today actualy. Of course, I did not have to unload them either. I snapped a couple pics with my phone.

This is a crowd shot of 2/3 of them before we started loading.

Here is the second semi before it pulled away fron the dock.

Here is some of the black ones. We sorted them as we went believe it or not.

Troy, what's your story? Do you have a Store of some kind or operate a Huge route?

I gotta second that! Good 19"ers are getting harder to come by....
Are they burned?
Looks like some nice power supplies too...

These will not be at the landfill, at least not very many of them. They are still used in alot of states, there is a market for them, but the parts themselves are worth more than i paid.

I do have a showroom in Chicago. But i have several warehouses with games in them. Rught now we have about 400 video games, 50 pins, 75 jukeboxes, and by then end of the month we will have about 450 poker machines.

We have no route. The 8 liners are sold to out of state operators mainly. The pins, vids and jukes are gone through and sold through our showroom or through ebay

Poker

There was a lot of nice ones in the bunch. The back of that semi was the last of the lot that we used to fill up the truck.

 

[LyonsArcade]

Man, that's a hell of a move. Looks fun

 

[ixtlann]

Aaron is the man we know this
Hey aaron I just picked up a pole position cockpit for the right price as they say, resto project! Help!

 

[Lindsey]

I'm just bitter about moving out of my own warehouse and thinking about the cost of storage vs. the value of what's being stored. Then there's your time to consider.

I was actually overjoyed to leave 30ish games and a shitload of parts behind because I'm just tired of dealing with so much "stuff". I didn't always feel that way.

If you're happy that's all that matters. I'll keep my bitterness to myself

Kudos to Aaron for helping out. Sometimes someone helping can make all the difference.
