Anything you want at Dave & Busters! (Greece)

Hello! I'm selling my services. It's really very simple. I'm very good at certain arcade games to the point that I make tickets at a higher rate than I spend money. That makes me able to purchase items with tickets at well below retail cost in most cases and pass a good amount of savings to folks like you. So here is how ito works: identify a product at dave and Busters you want. Let's say a Wii u system for example. It costs 75000 tickets. Multiply the tickets by .0032, round up to the nearest dollar, and that is how much I charge for that product. So in the wii u example, it would cost you 240 dollars. We would set a time on a Wednesday (that is the day I hang out there). We would meet at the prize area at d&b. You let me know the product(s) you want, I order them, you give me the cash, I give you the loot. I can only take so many clients each Wednesday so it is on a first come, first served basis. I can order anything you want that they have available (barring items that need to be special ordered such as ipads) but here are just a few examples with their cost:

Wii U: $240
Xbox One/PS4: $368
32" Pikachu plush: $26
Video games priced at 12,500 Tickets: $40
Fitbit charge HR: $128

Shoot me a text if you want to make an appointment at ### ### #### Also, this is for meetingsale at the d&b in marketplace mall only! Thanks!


This sounds like a really good way to get kidnapped or sexually abused in the D&B Men's Room.
 
Alright so here's the dealio... This is called "AP" or "advantage play". Essentially these guys can actually play at a level where they earn tickets at a ratio greater than the dollar value of those tickets... So yeah, you can go to D&B and play the games and end up winning high end electronics for less than you'd pay retail.

I've done this a lot in the past. I'm no expert at the games but I can play at a slight advantage which means I can get most console games about 20% off, and I've scored a PS4 and a Wii U from D&B in the past... along with a handful of games.

The main tricks are to stack up on coupons... You can get $40 worth of tickets for $20 using a coupon and then if you play on Wednesday all the games are half price... So doing some math you end up coming out ahead.

Again, I've done this in the past, and it does work... I'm no expert and there are guys far better at it than I am. They play games like Down the Clown or 2 Minute Drill... These just require high throwing accuracy and you can jackpot the games many times.

Though the way this guy is using the system is really odd... Typically you just go on Wednesday, earn a few hundred thousand tickets and buy up the high end electronics that have the best earning potential... and then you sell the actual consoles and stuff on CL. I guess this guy figures why buy stuff he might have a hard time selling and instead just get the stuff people request for him to win.

But it's still really goofy. He probably has like a million tickets saved up on a card and he's just going to buy whatever you request and not actually go sit there and play games for several hours until he earns enough tickets to buy your item. But again, it's still really weird.

I think only a couple of items are even worth flipping for profit. Some stuff is actually way overpriced for no reason. Like Beats headphones are marked up like over $100 more in ticket value than they are worth retail. One example is recently I bought the Lego Dimensions bundle for my daughter and it cost me like 25,000 tickets... Yet most console games sell for 12,500 tickets. It basically was the cost of two console games, yet retail it goes for $60 just like any other normal console game. D&B just took advantage of it coming in a big "bundle" box and pumped up the ticket value for no real reason.
 
Just dry white toast.

do the ticket eaters at places like dave and busters or CEC validate anything on the tickets, or just count and shred. They run so fast I doubt they validate. I've got tickets on my skee ball and hoop it up. Used to buy them by the case when I had 8 liners on location. Always thought it wouldn't be hard to run a stack or two through without anyone noticing. Maybe this is what the dude figured out.....

At Dave & Busters you have to bring paper tickets to the counter and place them in a basket to be weighed, then they are put on your power card. The power card has your name, address and phone number on it if you registered it. The cameras would obviously pick up fraud like this and the attendants would pick up if you were doing this and not let you redeem the tickets since at D&B you have to go through an attendant to redeem Sometimes D&B checks your card history if you are redeeming for a large prize and that requires manager's approval. Not sure about CEC, but unless the tickets are branded with the location you are going to (aka D&B branded tickets or CEC tickets) I can't see this working. The tickets mostly have barcodes on them. But if you had a stack of CEC or D&B tickets there is no way they could deny it, people buy bundles of tickets on ebay and turn them in everywhere.

Also if you are an AP Dave & Busters looks at reports on how much machines makes or lose and if someone is hitting a machine hard they will change the settings so it gets nerfed, but this usually takes a few weeks, so the gravy train for these people won't last long. Those prices he listed were not good, they are prices you can buy those items at for any day of the week.

All I'll say is CEC doesn't validate and just counts. You can run any tickets at one of their kiosks
 
I thought a Creepy living is pretending to be cripple or a vet begging for money on the freeway off ramp.

Last weekend, I saw several of these guys congregated at the back end of the WalMart parking lot among some beat up cars.
I really got the feeling that they were a team of gypsies or something.

They were probably looking for Pokémon.

The D&B by me now puts the tickets directly on the card, as does the newer arcade that just opened up. so you don't really get any tickets anymore. You win and the card just counts up.

Tis been a while since I've been at D&B, but if my girls want something at the arcade I just tend to abuse that sponge bob coin drop game. I have the timing down that either get tickets or extra coins on every drop, so my ticket production for them is pretty good. LOL

I can win on a game called "monster drop" very easy. I won a 500 ticket JP on that game and a 27 ball bonus round the last time I was at D&B. Other games to try are 2 min drill, down the clown and milk jug toss if you are good at throwing games, those are popular with the AP's. If you are good at timing games quick drop, monster drop, slam a winner (if your location has it), crazy curves, or spin n win. You have to figure out which games don't have auto lose built in, aka which are not rigged. You have to figure out which games you can play and which ones you can't, some people are just naturally more skilled at certain games.

At our D&B you can currently choose paper tickets or digital tickets but other arcades here are only digital tickets with a swipe card. At D&B you can use the kiosks to swap between paper tickets and digital tickets as you please if you want to.

How long do you think this profession will last?

I dont think it would last very long at all.
Prices are dropping on all that stuff anyways , especially the wii U , another nintendo is coming out soon.
And well , i work at a pawn shop lol.
cut that $240 down to $80 and thats what i pay.

Or you can just stand outside of a gamestop that your buddy works at and swat a few
on the cheap for cash before they bring it in and trade in.
