so i have an something that kind of fell into my lap today. i am a mailman, and on my route is an old guy that used to run and arcade/pinball route. while im talking to him, he tells me that he has over 100 arcades/pins in storage, some work, he believes quite a bit of them do not work. I dont know what exactly he has, but he is pretty solid on the number. and he will sell them to me for 175 dollars each if i buy them all. we are supposed to go look at them tomorrow, my banker of course says yea, whatever you want, ill give you the money. even my wife says " whatever you want to do" so im good there. so the big questions are of course, what exactly is in there, he isnt solid on the pinballs, not even sure he has any left. but is sure on the over 100 arcades. i could also get the space to store them.
So what exactly would you do? I could of course offer him less per machine if i take them all.
do i move them or do i leave them there and have an Auction? (based on the recent tulsa pinball auction that would be most profitable).
do i move them and try to sell them individually, or try to fix them? (i have minimal experience repairing machines and usually just watch youtube videos) and even when they get fixed usually dont know exactly what i did, i just know they are working again!!!
ideas? concerns im not seeing? worries? anyone with any experience in this type of stuff?
any advice and why would be appreciated. Just saying "go go go go" when its not your $$ on the line isnt really helpful. ill know more with hopefully some pics after tomorrow afternoon
Right now the KLOV Detectives are working against you behind the scenes already trying to figure out who you're dealing with to swoop in before you to flip some games. Always difficult posting these threads on here as it usually always backfires. Best of luck! Hope there are some rare titles that get saved!

Your in for a lot a lot of work! Get a decent appliance dollie that kick back wheels....
