Am I missing something?
If you want to save these machines from the dump then just offer to sell them as is.
Why would you trash them if you don't get money from kick-starter?
That doesn't make any sense.

We had that one a few months ago. It is called the "so & so gambit" I'm not sure on the name. Anyway, the idea is if person [a] doesn't [x] amount of money for an item, they are going to do [y] that may or may not be the story here.

I'm not sure I follow what you mean by the "so & so gambit", can you clarify? Of course there are options for what to do with the equipment, but it is not atypical to liquidate by parting them out (LCD, speakers, PCs, brackets, etc). That's more of what I mean by disposing of them. I'd rather not do that because a lot of love went into every one of the machines, they are extremely well built and they work great as a game room item (with the modifications proposed). Over 100 machines is a lot to store (they are sealed and brand new) and I'm moving forward with some new projects, need the space. It's the "Save the Game Gate" project. If there is a lot of interest in the unit, I can make more but the price would be way higher. You guys know you can't build and ship a machine like this for $1500 delivered, it weighs 400lbs and is built to last a long time. If I move all of the units or can at least show continued demand that would be great, but there are a lot of great companies out there making machines. Truthfully I've launched a lot of different products in this space including selling arcades to Costco, Best Buy, and Sams Club. Backers truly get a lot more for their money with Game Gate than any other machine I sold in the past, so hopefully it is a win win. We'll see how it goes!

Personally, I think what you're offering for the price is pretty damn good.
I really don't care for light up sides and all the hype crap, and I hate the word "mancave" but I think the equipment is
pretty cool.
I also thought the quasicade controllers were cool with those funky analog controls.
I just don't see how this applies to kickstarter.

Same here. Might was well use the word sausagefest.
