Getting an arcade game down the stairs

How big is the game? Strategy for an Afterburner Cockpit is different than a Dig Dug cocktail. I am getting older, so help and minimum of an appliance dolly. Since I have a walk up basement with 5 steps, I now have a truck with a winch (kinda cheating). May consider an Escalara down the road as well.

NO PLACE IN THE GOD DAMN WORLD IS GOING TO RENT SOME REDNECK A FUCKING $2000+ ESCALARA FOR $20 FFS.
Also worth noting, if you didnt scream at everyone in all caps and call them rednecks, you may be surprised to find someone local to you who may have one of these fancy schmancy battery powered dollys...Just sayin...

Bad @thegleek, bad boy. BAD BAD BAD. Go sit in your crate, we'll get back to you later.
 
look. all games will average 200~300lbs. and most of you old (40-50+) fat fucks come in at 200+lbs of jiggly belly fat cuz you all work in IT and are lazy as fuck, never exercise, and ugly AF.

so yes. your old ass self will struggle like hell to get a game down (or up) the stairs, and it may result in a heart attack. you'll thank me later. cheers mate. :)

Oh man... we're getting gold tonight ! What you drinkin ?

On another note, I moved my Spy Hunter by myself, and maybe I am weak, but that mf feels a lot more than 300lbs imo. Luckily, there was no stairs. I also think Star Wars is heavier than 300 ?? no
 
Ok but in all seriousness. What kind of stairs are they? This is a good post, my stairs have 2x90 degree turns. And it will not be fun. And are we talking a sitdown driving game, or a cocktail table. Or a beast upright like spyhunter.

i'd say around 30-40 samples of rare beers. tonight was our craft annual beer party. had dozens of 10-20 year old bourbon barrel aged stouts, whiskies, meads,
beer pong, drunken karaoke, raffle prizes, jambalaya, random food, mystery fudge, and more. honestly after 4+ hours of this madness, i only ended up with one photo:

false. all games hurt. especially Atari. fuck Atari.
That ain't no lie... it was raining when I brought my Xybots home from the dock at work.. The machine was well wrapped with cardboard and stretch wrap and stayed dry... but.... up two steps into the house a 90° turn in the entry way to go through the kitchen to the dining room. All the while wrestling the wet slippery 300# bitch on wet tile floor. By the time she was in place there were a couple mashed fingers, lots of swear words and my brother in-law was bleeding... fun times... just got the second Atari yesterday (Tempest UR). Off the truck and into storage with no issues... but she ain't home yet... that's another load into the truck and a 650 mile drive... still plenty of time for her to get pissed off and bite and scratch...
 
Wait, do hookers in CA move arcade games?
Great idea.
Wondering if my accountant can back date some expenditures with new description now...
Pay the hooker to sit on the stairs. Next put the game on top. Then climb aboard and ride them both to the bottom like slim Pickens!
