Putting an ad in a local classifieds for old cabs?
(1/6) > >>
Tahnok:
I'm thinking about taking out an ad in the classifieds for people who want to get rid of their old cabs. How many people have tried this and what kind of response did you get? More importantly, how much should I offer people for the cabs? Should I try for free, around $20-$50 or will I not be able to get anything for under $100?

Mainly, I will be looking for old cabs that I can gut for parts, like coin mechs and CPs. The actual cabinets will probably end up outback, unless they are in very good condition.

You don't have to fix a number to it. Listen to what they've got first before you slap a number on it.

Your target price should be FREE. You really need to approach this like you are doing THEM a favor by finally clearing their [basement/storage/whatever space] of these bulky things they have no use for.

Don't act too eager. Be "quick" on the phone, ask them things like what game it is, what condition, etc, etc. Get them to really think maybe what they have is of no value. Ask THEM what they want for it.

This guy used to sell this info on Ebay. I could email/PM it to you. Just PM me.

I think the problem would be putting an ad out for cabs. That would lead me to belive you want it, not that your doing someone a favor by getting rid of it for them. wich would make me charge more for something than I normally would.

if you're going to do that, why not just charge a $20 disposal fee per cab  ;D
