Given this hobby isnt cheap at least compared to bowling or other pastimes and being
kinda new to this whole thing...
I was wondering how other people are funding their arcade collections? Just using spare
cash every now and then?
I came up with a couple based on observation and was looking for other suggestions.
1. buying, fixing up, and flipping machines
2. Starting up an online retail service selling parts/reproductions people want.
3. Starting up a board repair/monitor repair service
4. Doing restorations for people - seems to be more of a labor of love
5. Custom cab building service
6. Buying and parting out machines to other collectors
7. Retail locations? I have to believe creating an arcade or placing machines in a retail
location is a losing propisition.
How do you fund your obsession?
