Satisfied with your current lineup and no need to buy more?

I'm out of space in the game room, but I currently have 2 "keepers" in the garage and I'm looking for a pin and a Neo Geo cab...
 
I have 2 arcades spaces, 1 gameroom and a garage. Breakdown:

Outer Limits - 8 full size uprights
Devil's Vortex - 12 full size uprights, 2 cabarets, 1 cockpit, 1 cocktail
Galaxy Blue - 2 uprights, 1 cabaret, 1 cocktail, 1 pinball, 1 jukebox, 1 dartboard
Garage - 8 uprights, 2 cabarets

Even though I still have room, I am done buying. I am going to restore the 10 in the garage, sell a few games that I don't have room for in the house and relax after this year is out. I rarely look at CL anymore and when I do, I don't even bat an eye at $50 games. I've been pretty active in the hobby for almost 7 years and will continue to be, I am just done buying. From here on out, any new machines will be trades. I have been focusing on what I have and it feels great.
 
Funny i had posted not long ago that i was outta money and space,now im thinking of selling a couple games(i have one in the living room)so ill have more of both.I only have a 11x12 space so i want my line up just how i want it,I only have 5 games but would be happy with just 4 as long as there what i want.currently i have:
asteroids deluxe(not going anywhere)
assault(not going anywhere)
playchoice(not going anywhere)
galaga(??????)
3 wonders(???????)
slot(??????)
fun chicken(not going anywhere)

so i have some options its funny how you can feel your done and feel good about it for a while then get restless.
 
I like what I have so far, but there are more I'd rather have. But money and space are putting a damper on that for me.
 
It's getting down to the nitty gritty for me. I don't have much room left, and the games I have left are pretty sacred. But, you just never know....
 
I'm actually very very close to this, only one or two pieces away, and I don't have room for those last two just yet, so I'm holding off anyway. in fact, I'm strongly considering getting rid of one of my JAMMAs as it seems rather redundant.
 
for sale

man, the for sale section is going nuts, a zookeeper, quantum, warlords cocktails, baby pacman, etc etc. i am jammed to the garage and so many great games for sale this past week or so. what is everyone spring cleaning? neeeeed moooore roooom!!
i have got to stay away from the for sale section!!
 
I am. im also out of space, but I am literally to the point I will not get rid of any game I own.

Same If you're considering "Full systems". I'm all out of space and have no desire to sell anything. Currently I'm keeping an eye out for a few boards I can swap in and out of machines I already have, and that's about all. I think it's awesome that I got (mostly) everything I was looking for, but in a way I'm a little sad that the "Chase" is gone.
 
I am totally out of room in the basement and have been content with just maintaining what I have but already this year I really have been mixing it up. I sold 3 games (Turbo, Domino Man, and TSPP (which I replaced with a ToM) and am trading one away (Jungle King for Outrun Mini) this weekend and I have 3 games coming in (missile command, scramble, and Track and Field) and a Discs of Tron in the garage. So that means I need to get rid of some more games in the basement which is not gonna be easy. I am at a point now where I am attached to all the games that are left. It's gonna be hard to decide what goes. #whitepeopleproblems
 
After spending months to a year rebuilding each game in my lineup, and into my sixth year in the hobby, this is where I am at too. Turning to JAMMA board collecting is a great way to keep the lineup fresh. Keeping 17 dedicated, 2 JAMMA, and two pins going is enough for me! Focusing on fixing up what I have is my goal. I couldn't be happier with this hobby, really.
 
completely pleased with minimalism.
have an empty pinball carcass that i might try setting up for visual pinball someday...or might not.....
completely pleased with the basics. :)

check out these:

http://www.mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/store.pl?sku=DBLJAMMA

they are spendy, but work very well (I'd recommend a 3' or 5' cable though). I use them to keep a variety of titles in the mix (including sharing similar themed games like my Rolling Thunder and Sly Spy).

There are others out there, but I can't speak for them, I've had a Mike's 2-in-1 for about 4 years and never had an issue.
 
Nope just getting started. I have several in my house that are not mine but that I store/re-store and I need to start moving from the basement into the garage. Below is a lits of games that I feel I still need to have:

Jungle King
Bosconian
Area 51
Mario Brothers
Pac Man
Burger Time
Q-Bert
Zaxxon
Multi-Williams
 
Out of room and wife has put her foot down. Instead of extending the arcade in the basement, she want's a TV room even though we have one upstairs. I'm done with arcade games and have the room for 1-2 pins at the most.
