Title: Anyone know the story behind this raid??
Post by: Nostalgia on June 06, 2007, 10:25:23 pm
This to me, is the best raid video I have ever seen. Anyone know how much these games were sold for, who are the lucky fellows that got to visit this place?  :notworthy:

I was wondering if they could just take what ever for a set price. I could drop some crazy cash at a place like that!

I only wish the guy holding the camera was slightly knowledgeable of arcade games.  I'm constantly wanting to smack him upside the head and for not showing more of certain cabinets.

This was a warehouse in West Virginia. I have discussed this video with Wade from the forums here, and he thinks it was most likely part of the Price Music Company sell-off. I wasn't into this hobby back then, so I wasn't around for it. :'(

Pure speculation though because I have never heard of the true location of the warehouse in question. I'd bet money it is in Charleston or Huntington though.

Yeh, I know it has. But something that cool has to have a cool story behind it.

A local vending company. Two guys I know went there to score some cheap stuff - controls/ empty cabinets.
