I like Metro shelving from Costco. They have wheels so you can move them around when needed.

We just went thru and did a count and inventory on both warehouses and there are 2600 games
 
RLEVIN.... why do you have so much inventory? As a business wouldn't it be smarter to move that inventory? I'm posing the question because when Mylstar and I did "Blast from the Past Amusements" between 1997-2002, we had at most around 200 games for sale. We never went beyond that because it took up more space, and seemed anti-productive to being in business when you can't sell them and just acquire more. Parts on the other hand I feel can be a bit higher in numbers but the same argument could be made.
I dunno... i thought having 200 games at one point that could possibly not sell was a risk....having 2600 games. You have some nice pieces but glad it's not me, especially in today's economy.

Sorry for the thread de-rail. I felt it was a necessary question given the fact RLEVIN felt it appropriate to share how much stuff he has.

Not a big deal and good question. We have 40k sqft and have to fill it with something plus you buy these when they come around and I cannnot pass a deal. As for sales our sales are great, we had the biggest tax season since we started. Plus someone has to save these from the landfills.
 
I have given up trying to organize everything. It is time to get rid of all the extra parts that I may need someday. I need the space now. I have one rack that has to hold tools, and there is not much room left for parts. I think I am going to keep 3 totes that I can store under the pins, but that is it. It is just too much work trying to move everything around all of the time.

I am about to go out to the garage to go through some more stuff. fun.
 
I saw the original posters pic and I'm not joking I have more spare parts in my walk in closet in my bedroom. Actually ahve more spare parts in my kitchen too. Of course the garage has more parts and then there's the spare bedroom that is pretty much all parts.
