I have a basement full of dedicated games and the only one I paid more than $100 for was a Pole Position cockpit which I paid $150 for. However, to do that takes constant searching, the ability to act on a deal right then and there and the willingness to take the turds along with the gems. I have a flatbed truck that will hold 8 games with room for a bunch of boxes of parts or spare monitors to go along with them.

If I may ask, what do you do for a living? Are you self employed?

Stay at home father at the moment. Wages have tanked bad in what I was doing previously (building maintenance) and I can't even get an interview doing anything too far separated from that. Thus I haven't been able to find anything that wouldn't actually end up as a net loss in income (day care isn't cheap). For some reason that is a really hard concept for some people to grasp though.
Wife would be home instead of me, but she only has one kidney and has a couple other minor health complications and if one of us has to go without health coverage then I would rather it be me.

Sounds like you have the time to make bartops and sell them for $100 complete. I am being serious too. :)

I just wanted to share the link.
It sounds like a good deal if you wanted to rent one for a party. As a renter the worst case is your out $60-$75.
Paigeoliver at least you are spending time with you kids.

I sell off the extras from my various pickups. It brings in a little money or at least pays for what I keep. I have a 13 month old though and she needs a lot of attention which keeps me from being able to devote any serious time to anything.

Wow ... that's really tough ... hope something turns up soon - I remember the days of running round after my little girl. No she's 11 and LOVES arcades and pushes me to get my cab done.
Things have a habit of turning out ok... :cheers:

When I finally finish my cab projects, I would definitely prefer the amount of strange-junk contact be kept to a minimum. Seeing the abuse cabs take in a public space, I shudder to think what goes on behind closed doors. It puts the lotion on it's skin...
