I'm thinking of starting a very small local business selling arcade parts

Hey everyone,

Could someone please let me know how I can find a good wholesale supplier for arcade items? Is there anything I should know?

Thank you!

I think you have to buy in hundreds if not thousands pieces per item.  Or markup each item so you can get a profit.  Either way you'll need capital to get started. You might be better off selling populated panels. 

Between this and starting an arcade, most of have thought of it.  Best wishes

Wow! That much? If I wanted to have anything in stock I would have to pay retail and give a mark up, hmm

Perhaps you'd get a good deal if you contacted the manufacturers directly?

Check out this link.  This is what I base my reference of 1000s of pieces.  http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/american-style-arcade-button-for-amusement_1357388329.html
