I closed my arcade in February and am in the process of selling off my later model equipment.

I currently have 2 warehouses, and I need to clear one of them out to save on my expenses.

I have 13 year's worth of stuff accumulated, and I hate to throw anything away.

Want a cheap or free 19" monitor? (Or 6, or a dozen....)
Need some coin doors?
A couple dozen coin mechs?
Marquees, bezels, backglasses...

I have a LOT of stuff I want to get rid of, and some of it I will give away. More valuable items I will ask to be paid for, but much of it I will happily take a donation and the freed space!

I have several cabinets for projects as well.

So much stuff I can't even list it all without forgetting something.

Here's one of the ads I put up on Craigslist KC:
http://kansascity.craigslist.org/vgm/1322406622.html

Make a trip out to see me, bring a truck, bring some cash, and bring home some of this stuff before it literally becomes garbage.

If anyone wants to vouch for me, speak up. (You know who you are....)

If you want a chance to pick though my mess, speak up ASAP before I have to start tossing it.

Got a vector monitor by chance?

I went to one of his warehouses a couple weeks ago, the pictures on craigslist do not do it justice. One of those moments where you turn a corner and see enough cool stuff you start thinking bad thoughts like 'how mad would my wife get' and 'how could I explain our new need for a bigger house'. If you are in the KC area it would definitely be worth the trip, the range of games and gear is impressive. I'll be heading back in the next week (I need to look for a loose coin door and figure out an empty cabinet for the next project), if someone needs a second set of eyes on anything in particular post it here and I'll give you a review/get pictures.

Any chance you have a Centaur backglass? Mine has some touch ups on it and I'd like to get a better one.

sorry to hear about you closing your arcade.

im also sorry to hear your warehouse is so far away

ah well, would you happen to have any spare midway door parts?

i've got a door came off a professor pacman.. only it's missing some parts on the 2nd coin slot.

need a coin entry bezel, coin slide, and coin chute.

also you have any coin switches? i need like 3.

how much would you ask for those items?
im in ohio so it would have to be shipped, perhaps someone going there in person would be willing?

I have no plans for the weekend so anyone that wants to come have a look get in touch with me. Plan to bring a truck or trailer and cash.

(While I will give away some stuff I am optimistic that many collectors would find enough stuff to feel like paying me a little something for parts and of course I have complete machines too.)

Would also help to write down a wishlist if you have one. I might not be able to figure out exactly where everything is right away, but I should have some idea of whether I do or might have a particular item.

My main warehouse is inside St. Joseph, and my other shop with the monitors and piles of stuff is a few miles away. Best to visit the old shop during daylight as I don't have the power turned on there anymore...

Kansas City is about an hour away, Omaha is 2.

Drop me a line with a phone number and I will get back to you.

Feel free to try to coordinate visits with other collectors, it'll be more interesting with a group poking around together.

For some of the posts already:
I am almost 100% certain I have no vector anything. I definitely have some midway coin doors around. The Simpsons is in very nice shape and I am looking for $700 or so. No pinball glasses, but quite a bit of rubbers and bulbs somewhere around here.

There are a few things I could use or would like as trades:
Dot Matrix for Scared Stiff.
Ms. Pac boards, and 1 backglass, marquee and CP.
An Intel-based Mac.
Medieval Madness, Ultrapin machines.

Mostly I am trying to get rid of stuff I will never use, but there are some things I want to keep for my personal collection, and other machines need parts so I can fix them for better sale prices.

Thanks!

I also want to make it clear that this is not going to be a situation where someone opens a door and sees a barn full of mothballed classics.

We are talking monitors, boards, tools, coin doors, some artwork and other misc parts. Nothing particularly rare that I am aware of.

I would hate to have someone make a trip out with high hopes of finding the holy grail or something.

If in doubt, ask me before planning a drive.

Thanks!

polybius?

bartre · « **Reply #10 on:** September 03, 2009, 01:12:16 am »

out of curiosity, do you have any loose boardsets, or boardsets you'd be willing to part out?

spOOf · « **Reply #11 on:** September 03, 2009, 10:10:51 am »

I'm nowhere near here but this is worth a bump...

AlexC · « **Reply #12 on:** September 03, 2009, 05:24:58 pm »

If you're willing to ship I could use a few G07 or WG monitor chassis.

ArcadeNerd · « **Reply #13 on:** September 03, 2009, 07:17:40 pm »

I just spoke with Eric and am planning on going on Saturday. If anyone else is planning on making a trip give a post so we could maybe save him an extra run to the old warehouse. I was thinking noon to 1ish.

Malenko · « **Reply #14 on:** September 03, 2009, 07:29:23 pm »

I need a 25" monitor and a working KI1&KI2 board....

z · « **Reply #15 on:** September 03, 2009, 09:38:02 pm »

ArcadeNerd and Eric,
I will try to get by around on noon on Saturday also, will have cash plus a camera to help others see what all is there.

I have had a few visitors up here this weekend.

Passed on a few coin doors and little stuff.

Z took a LOT of pics today, they'll make their way online soon.

Guys today poked around in boxes and piles and I got some stuff sorted and condensed, so even though nobody hauled off anything sizeable we made some progress in the mess.

Hoping more of you can come in before I have to start feeding dumpsters.

10/6/09 At Eric's request I have taken pictures out of message and inserted Eric's link to his photo gallery to conserve bandwidth/improve load time for page.

Met Eric and ArcadeNerd on Saturday, the following posts have the pictures I took. Sorry about the quantity of shots but I was trying to get a fairly complete photo inventory.

To answer ahead of time, I do not want to ship for anybody or get involved in any deals, this gear is Eric's to sell so contact him with questions. I am just trying to help out since he has been good about answering tech questions for me.

PS - Included picture of Eric's truck somewhere in here so you would know you were at the right place if you came to look at games.
