I have 5 useless bar-coded debit cards from the now-defunct Krazy City. I'm a casual collector of 'arcade' ephemera (tickets, tokens, etc), and I was wondering if anyone wanted to trade something similar? Debit cards from closed arcades, or ones I'll never get near (I'm in the Philadelphia area). I'm especially interested if they have nice logos or imagery on the cards/tickets/tokens/whatever.

PM me and we'll work something out. I've attached a picture of one of the cards I have on offer. They are all in good shape, with a few dings at the one corner from having been through the card readers.


Yes, I know, I'm REALLY stretching the definition of 'arcade' here, but let's take 'arcade' to mean 'anything that has video games as a big part of it's business'.


(For those who don't know, Krazy City was a chain of shit-tastic Family Entertainment Centers that variously had video games, redemption, rides, mini-golf, bowling, and food. The food was worse than CEC, the staffing levels were so low as to make one wonder what prevented the locals from just taking everything, and the games were generally in a bad state. And that was at the newly opened one near me. Reading reviews on the net indicated that all of them were managed in pretty much the same crap-tacular way.)

Ours had a good number of drivers, a smattering of other stuff (including a big deal-or-no deal system) and lots of empty spaces (like huge swaths of wall just blank). From what I'm gathering online, the whole chain went down, and they went down badly - they didn't call and warn people with scheduled parties and some folks were supposedly having trouble getting final paychecks.

Sadly they simply appear to have been terrible at making a business out of the whole thing. When you don't present the patrons with reasonable service, you aren't going to get them returning.
