Free arcade games in Dallas area

Is that a rev.x there? It looks like a 3 player, Is there such a thing?

Yep, I just sold my 3 player Revolution X. It's a TANK of a game but worth it if someone can grab it. Sucks scrappers are ripping them apart, they make $5 scrapping stuff that could be worth hundreds to one of us.... I hate Craigslist sometimes.
 
did anyone go out there last night.
when I drove by there were cops everywhere
and a bunch of junked out looking games
I did see a couple spy hunter on some trucks
I guess everyone got to keep what they got?
 
What a waste. Dude should have sold them before getting evicted. It's not like you get booted with no advance warning.

Its really sad what people will let happen when things go bad. I know a collector who let 3 storage containers (about 75 games) go up to auction. It was not junk! Some of the games were proto. Many of them were rare titles (3 UR DOT's, 2 mappys, 2 wackos, ect). Many of them had been taken to CAX over the years. It really freaked me out as some of the games still had cax tags on some of them. I thought he had died.

If not for pure luck that I called on a CL ad and we went to see them immediately, who knows what might have happend to the games. They got sold to 3 different buyers and I was lucky enough to run into all 3 as they started to clean the units out. I able to work a deal with all of them and buy all the games. They doubled and tripled their money(The units sold at auction for $1000-1200 with about 25 games in each). One guy kept a massive pez collection as thats why he bought the unit.

If the guy had talked to any of us fellow collectors, we would have glady bought a few of his games/lent him the money. What was really sad is that he had 2 neo geo 6 slots in there. I even called him to say I had a buyer for them and he told me he sold them. This was like 3 months before he lost the units.

I think if you have rare games, you should make plans for them. I have left instructions for my family as to what my games are worth and who to contact if I were to pass. It was a big deal for me when I was going through chemo and the resulting surgerys. Probably need to update that list as pin prices have gone way up..
