Got a call from a guy via EBay.
Asked me if I bought arcade games, which I do. (Of course)
But I'm in Ohio and he's in Flagstaff, AZ.
He said his girlfriend's family owns a campground and they have four games they want to get rid of:
Frogger
Ms. Pac-Man
Defender
Vanguard
He said they look ok, but most if not all, do not come up and work.
Sounds like he would take $100-200 each, but they need them gone soon.
His name is Jeff. I can get you the number if his current buyers fall thru. Sounds like a deal has been made.
Good luck, and let us know how it works out, guys.

Damn....someone already got to him from here for $800 for everything. I only wanted frogger but now that he said he had an offer on all he won't sell any individually. I don't have that kinda cash on me.

If it's any consolation I see them come up regularly here in the north east:

You could use a carrier like STI to get it to you.
 
The reason I don't have the game is that it sells all the time for 800 and I never buy games at that rate ever as its just too much. So when 1 comes up for 100 or 200 I try to grab it. Shipping games is just as crazy with the prices. 300-1000 no way.

You guys need an arcade badly. That one in the mall is...well...lol
 
I got the perfect place for one downtown. It's a basement by the prescott brewery and you walk down stairs from the street like "cheers" and it's next door to a tech repair place (us nerds love our solidarity and caves lol). It would be a sweet spot for an arcade. I'm only at 9 operating games at the moment which is nowhere near what an arcade should be...and if I keep missing these damn deals then it will never get to the point of an arcade lol

Give me a call.

You can do it, just need to get a storage space first, then find applicable rent on a place downtown. The issue with Prescott is most of it are retirees or people in substance abuse programs in terms of the population (majority). It's a gorgeous place and I am sure an all day arcade would do well there (fees on Free Play, not quarters). The guy in the mall that sells the games has the arcade next to it. I am not sure how he thinks that is a real arcade in there. It's as awful as I have ever seen and he knows it. So much more potential. Not even sure how the mall is ok with it but I bet you can find a place with decent rent and start getting machines in place. I would also subsidize it with a used video game store. Now that Hastings is gone it is ripe for the picking over there with vintage everything.
 
It went really well. Left Cave Creek at 9:30 this morning and didn't get back until 5:30 in the afternoon. As soon as I got home I had to quickly get dinner for the kids and then drop my mother off at the airport. My back hurts and now I'm enjoying a beer while I compose the story. Here is a photo to entice you in the meantime. Its actually a pretty interesting story, but in short, these were very close to ending up in a landfill before the future son in law reached out to you. The father, who is the owner of the property was ready to throw them out before he mentioned that he thought he could sell them.

Saw your post on this. Thanks for the kind words.
Just wanted to get these in the hands of my fellow collectors.
Told him someone would be calling him right back that day. Lol.
Glad to hear it worked out. They look great.
I love a good game picking story. Glad I could help out on this.
Enjoy.
