How much space would I need to store 230 arcade cabs? Might be coming across a major deal but dont know if I have the warehouse space to house all of these machines.

Rough estimates anyone?

2000-3000 square feet depending on what type of machines you plan to store and whether or not you want to be able to walk into the area.
 
3000 sq ft. should do it, I have that much space and have ~50 games set up in walkway rows with plenty of space in between the backs for servicing and still have 1/3 of room left wide open.
 
Okay. I have 5800 sq ft of space now. I only have about 30 plus machines in there. I have gorilla shelving that wraps around 2 sides of my shop though. I definitely need to walk around and need part of my shop open to work on these machines. It looks like I would already have a buyer for 70 of these cabinets.

I dont know I guess I was thinking I was going to need a lot more space. Ive never had more than 80-90 machines at a time. I dont want to get in over my head and be paying to hoard a bunch of cabinets forever.
 
No problem with the pics. Ill post some as soon as this deal is finalized or falls through!

Biggest thing is working out the details. Main part of my side business is I buy and refurbish machines and then sell them to a company that resales them to very high end clientele for an insane amount of money. I dont know how they do it but they move a lot of games.

I wouldnt be transporting these machines back to my place until late September since they are roughly 600 miles away from me at the moment. Ive never moved more than 30 games at a time so this is a whole new venture for me. Crunching out the details to make sure its worth my while.
