one problem with having games at antique shows is often the antique shows are outside in the middle of some field... you would need to power the units to really show them and if it rains you are screwed... of course you can purchase supplies (tent, generator) to avoid this, but it could be a pain... also you will want to have a few cabs and transportation can't be cheap for all those |

I think this is a cool idea. I have a few "Antique Malls" in my area, that were old Mills / factories converted to several floors of neat old junk. The basement floors are usually the flea market type Jeff Gordan memorabilia and McDonald's toys, but the uppers sell real antiques at real inflated prices. They rent floor space to different vendors and if I had an in with a local vendor as you do I'd set up an Arcade Shoppe in a heartbeat. You don't even have to be on site or pay anyone to watch your stuff - they take the tag off of the item they want to the register and pay for it. A place like I described not too far from me "The Old Sled Works" http://www.sledworks.com/ helped put together the Hershey Gameroom Expo. Looks like they have a lot of old Pinballs and Vintage coin-op stuff. I know that stuff goes for a mint. |

A few years back, I remember TNT Amusements having a booth at the big antique convention that they have in Atlantic City, NJ every year in the convention center. |
