Warehouse!

<< < (4/6) > >>

Paladin:
I live just north of Seattle, and have been watching this thread.  I know several local collectors that would problably help out if there were good deals to be had.  I bet a bulk deal using a rental truck to pick up several games could be arranged, once again if the deal was good.

I also agree that if you keep badgering the guy he's likely to get tired of it and quit working with you.  Let me know if you want me to contact the few 'power collectors' I know that do bulk buys, and I'll link you up.  They may have already stumbled on to this post already and are just watching it like me, but I won't do anything unless it's OK with you.

Seriously, don't count those chickens just yet.    If I were near Vancouver Island and intersted, it seems like you've already given enough info that I'd be able to find this guy.

- Guy has a warehouse full of vids
- ~200 games
- everyone in town knows him
- his arcade was real

In fact, a member named BCThunder made his very first post in this thread.  You've already aroused interest of people in the area.  And you're waiting for the owner to make a multi hour drive to bring a cab to your door?   Really? 

If I were the owner (lazy, sitting on cabs for 10+ years, not in any hurry to do anything about it) would I (a) go out to my warehouse, drag out a game, load it into a truck, drive it 2 to 3 hours to you and hope you buy it when you see it and then drive multiple hours home or (b) sell a bunch of cabs to BCThunder who showed up at my place with cash in hand?  Seriously, that's a no-brainer.

And I don't even know what that means at all?  Is he going to bring cabs, one by one, to your door so you can help fix them?  That seems unlikely.

Definitely.  You've announced it too soon, to too many people, and not moved fast enough.  By now you'll be lucky if someone hasn't backdoored everything in there worth having.

The Evil Collector:
I just thought I'd let you know, I called the guy last nite and he agreed to let me have the entire lot. I'm heading out in just a few minutes, should be there within a couple hours. I rented a large tractor trailer and I will be able to get them all. Sorry if this upsets anyone but a guy has gotta look out for number one ya know. If anyone wants to buy some of these off of me just drop a note and I'll let ya know what I have.
