Whats the farthest distance you would travel to pick upa game I just went 6 hours round trip and that seemed like a long way. Just curious the distance people would go for there game's.

9 hour round trip, should have been 6 but we hit a crazy flash rainstorm that had the highway at a crawl the entire way home.
 
Full Throttle used to rack up the miles...

I probably have close to a one-way game transport mileage record... I was visiting my Mom in Madison WI... yada yada... bought an MC and hauled it back to Palm Springs:)

Other than that... just PS to Ventura for a pick-up... 'bout 6 hours both ways. 2 hours one way at the most these days...
 
32 hours, round trip. This was in my "younger days". No way in hell I'd do something like that now.

18 hours drive and a 2 hour ferry ride each way to see my buddy Braido and get my Battlezone and Red Tent. Was a nice drive anyways. :)
 
About 40 hrs round trip over a couple of days. Chicago to Folkston GA. Probably won't drive like that again unless it is something really amazing.
 
23-1/2 hours with 4 gas stops and 30 minutes of pickup time. :)

I wanted a Crazy Climber... what can I say? :dunno:
 
4 hours from Detroit to Indiana for a Red Tent with vs Tennis.

3 hours to Ohio for a Jon Elway Football.

Will go nearly anywhere for a Joust Pinball or Journey Arcade game!
 
Driving - about 16 hours round trip for a delivery - all in Texas.

We did have a customer fly me to Sante Fe just to fix and clean his pinball...
 
hah! My 24 hour round trip excursion was crammed into a weekend. I ended up staying in a relatively bad part of Miami. Not fun.

I agree that there is no way I could do this now.

Repost of what I said:

I did a 1000 mile round trip to TN for a Space Invaders Deluxe; however, a very good friend of mine lived in the next city over and I actually hung out with him that weekend and picked up the game before I went back. Plus the game was in excellent condition. The second farthest was the 600 mile round trip to MI that I did one day for my Berzerk that someone was practically giving away. Since I pretty much have every game I've ever wanted I don't do more than a 6 hour round trip anymore. But then again that one will show up that I can't resist.
 
Astro City cab from Los Angeles (Riverside) to Minneapolis in 3 days. 2000 miles... of course, I was going that way already.
Minneapolis to Risingsun, Ohio (DPTwiz) and back in 2 days. 6 or 7 other stops along the way. Roughly a 1500 mile weekend.
Minneapolis to Battle Creek, Michigan (audiomidiman) and back in 2 days. 3 or 4 stops along the way. 1400 miles or so round trip.
