Welp, I do list my games in VAPS and at www.asshatarcade.com. Every one of my games is open for negotiations... some for more... some for less... but they all have a price/value.

A quick and dirty list:

Neo-Geo 4-Slot
Williams Multigame
Spy Hunter
Capcom Anthology
Star Castle
Wizard of Wor
Punch Out
Super Punch Out
Race Drivin' Compact
Pole Position II
Asteroids Deluxe
Tempest
Battlezone
Multi Pac

... more?

Some I'd call "keepers" ... others not so much so... The "keepers" just require more dough or higher trade value to get out of my grasp...

:D
 
for me, i'm flying in, so it would more be -

original posters (atari/midway/etc) or decent reprints
any other game room decor...
 
someone dug up a 2011 post... The only game I still have is gumball rally and night driver..

I am working on taking:
jr pac in super pac cab
slick shot
blitz 2000 (maybe)
vapor trx(linked pair)
afterburner II (if its needed)
ultracade
star castle
xenophobe
silent scope II
carnevil (maybe)
system 1 cab (maybe)
system 2 cab (maybe)
 
I am looking for:
Robotron
Sinistar
Donkey Kong
Black Widow
Moon Patrol

Maybe others, but that is all I can think of right now.
 
I'm bringing Tempest and Asteroids Deluxe. Both for sale. And possibly Tron but not for sale most likely. I might bring Robotron but also not really for sale unless someone offered kind of more than reasonable.
 
Didn't you just sell all that crap?

I do have a decent gravitar I could get ready. I also have the proto quantum and star wars cockpit but I was not planning on taking those to cax other than selling them to someone directly.

I'm bringing games, two will be available for trade/sale/etc. for sure.

- Popeye
- Missle Command w/Super Missle Attack Multi

I'm local too, so I might consider these if something came up at the show or like jehuie someone was offering the can't say no price....

- Mario Bros (conversion)
- Nintendo Playchoice 10 Single Monitor (not bringing but I'm only an hour away)

All these games are in A+ or 9/10 condition. I'm actually kinda freaked about bringing them. This will be my first time as an exhibitor.

I have actually only played Gravitar once, so I have no idea if it is a game I would even want to own. I don't think I have ever played Quantum either.

I am going to try to play the games that everyone seems to like this year at CAX. I never played Bubbles until last year, and I really enjoy it. I am sure there are others that I would enjoy as well.
 
the games can take it, they were meant to be played. you will probably do more damage loading and unloading them.

Things to do before you take them.
1: clean out the bottom. Make sure nothing is loose inside.
2: put it in free play. If you game has no free play, then put a credit button on it. If you can't do that, make sure its full of credits.
3: secure the coin door. If its an issue for you as someone might poke around.
4: Plan to adjust your monitor. when all 500 games are on, being played, and the ac is working hard, you might notice your monitor gets a bit brighter.
5: check your game during the day.

Best part of being an exhibitor is late Friday night around 10pm. All is usually setup and the place is empty of the public. you can talk to fellow collectors and maybe get a test game in.

Mann: If you want an extra, careful, pair of hands to help you move your games into the showroom on Friday, text me (I think you have my number). I plan on getting my truckload there early. Some guys use sylophane...or whatever the fuck it is called...wrap to protect the sides, if you're worried about that. There are also plenty of collectors/tech people running around if something goes down during the show.

As awkward as this makes me sound, Friday hanging out in the SF2 area and setting games up is one of my favorite parts of CAX. I get excited knowing people are going to be enjoying my games (and nervous because running a tournament is a bitch). My other favorite time is getting blitzed Saturday night and stumbling from game to game.

I don't plan on bringing anything I want to sell this year. I'm debating looking for a dead CPS2 B-board for the CPS2-multi kit. Otherwise...
 
I will probably be putting my house of the dead up for sale. Priced for CAX of course.

Muel (Gino) will be selling Robotron and Sinistar I believe...
