My first warehouse raid (With Pics!)

Wow, I have read about old operators warehouses on here but never thought I would see one for myself. I went to this today and was in awe, just unreal the number of stacks of bezels, marquees and board parts on shelves everywhere. Really too much to see in one day, but I did manage to pick up a bagman, king and ballons, popeye, armor atack (x2), star castle and a phoenix. I gave the phoenix to my friend that went with me and helped move the games all the way from the 5th floor down to a loading dock (hard even with a freight elevator). I cant wait until tomorrow to dig into these things and seee what I have!

Sounds like a nice haul. I have yet to have a "warehouse raid". They always sound and look like a lot of fun. Post some pics if you took any!!
 
Im in the Rochester/Syracuse area.

Most of the games up there have been sitting for over 15 years and suprisingly some still work.
 
Yes they are great. I did one today too, brought a trailer load of stuff home.
Who's got time to take pics when your busy scrounging through a dusty warehouse??
 
Holy crap! He raided Videotopia!!
Your saying that like it was a bad thing :D
Man I cant wait to play some bagman! when I get the locks drilled out to see if it even has any boards down in that compartment thingy dingy.




My friend took a bunch of pics ill get him to upload them.
 
I love Bagman, ones for sale around here but they want $500.00, which is way too much if you ask me. It's the first came I remember playing clearly, couldn't have been much older than four or five.

I remember my first warehouse raid. It was over 400 miles from my house. Some little town in Oregon. It was a long haul but picked up 10 nice games and a bunch of parts.
 
Kudos to you!! Let us fellow new yorkers get the scraps.... pant pant

How did you find out about the warehouse? That's useful info (I always wondered how people actually found them.)
