It is amazing no matter what you always have some ass bitching. FREE games guys no matter what they are free and for Todd to take the time to give them away is a treat and should be treated as so. It is hard to go thru each machine and list what is there and take pictures and take phone calls asking if there are mint Defenders and such. Give me a break stop bitching. It is one thing to bitch about price but to bitch about free is stupid.

yeah just jokking, usually thats the reply people always put when someone doesnt post pics or say what they are.... I dont even think that quote ( even if i was serious) was BITCHING about anything.. I know they are freee....just asking a question to post pics or list of what they are. Also MABEY it isnt worth for me to drive that far for something only to find its a bunch of cabs i already have and dont need....

but it was a joke so WHATEVER!!!!!

Sorry my bad but I was not kidding it is amazing the calls I have gotten and people wanting me to take detail pictures and list what each machine has in it and if there are Pac's and Defenders and are they in good shape. I mean come on these are free. If I miss took your post as bitching and it was not I am sorry.

I heard the same thing from a semi-local guy who was giving away two Battlezones, two Omega Races, and a Space Panic. He said my email to him was one of the only ones not asking stupid questions and *was* the first one saying that I could be over that day to pick them up.

It's funny how "picky" some people are. ;)
 
The most common cabinets people ask for are these three...Pacman/Ms Pacman, Donkey Kong/or Jr, and Galaga/Galaxian....of which we do NOT junk..we always bring those back to life because they are the few games that still can be retailed....oh wel!! Todd

Careful Todd you said retail.
 
Well, I have ten employees that have pension plans, paid vacations, and Blue Cross plans plus salaries that they expect to be paid every Friday--regardless of what games we sold each week! Not to mention workers comp, truck insurance, thousands spent on parts for the games (do you know I have purchased over 800 electroholme flybacks???), electric/heat bill is always $1500 a month or more, condo fees, water fees, trash pickup fees, etc!!! Oh well!!! So much for retail!! Todd

Boy Todd that is just the tip of the ice berg, you also have all the match taxes and unemployment and city and state taxes. It is almost not worth it some weeks. Nothing worse than going home at the end of a work day and have made 1000.00 and spent 2500.00 for the day.

Sadly, most people have no clue what it takes to run a business. I would bet that if you surveyed 100 random people about net profit, the vast majority would say the typical margin for a business is 50% or more. And that payroll represents ~10% of gross margins...
