On deal points, I've had the best success just showing up with cash....most operators HATE it when you leave their presense with cash in your pocket that they know about :) I suppose the first thing to find out from Greg is basically if he wants to sell by piece or does he just want to be done with it and sell it in a lot. If it's the 'take it all' scenario, price for that type of stuff usually goes $25-50 a game (cabinet)...no questions asked. Because a lot of what's there (going off the pics) will go straight into the dumpster, it would be really, really hard to go higher than that...including all the pin stuff. So, we could either show up there one day and haggle on the spot, or try to find out where his head really is at this point. If he's already sold off the 'cherry' stuff, perhaps he now realizes how difficult it will be to move the rest of the broken games/cabinets and would rather be done with the 'boat anchor' that they now represent....who knows. I like Pete's idea on cheap storage, but not sure where.... I've got a 400 sq ft storage area in Sandy (that most of you have seen) and that runs me (gulp!) $150 a month...probably doesn't fit the 'cheap' catagory, but something like that could be an option for a couple of months if needed. That's my thoughts for the moment.... jeff ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pete Ashdown" <pashdown@xmission.com> To: "Sean McLachlan" <sean@lithoflexo.com> Cc: <utvgg@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2005 4:11 PM Subject: Re: [UtVgG] Bountiful building

So, since I proved that I'm not the greatest organizer of game buys last week, I'd like opinions on how to handle it. Unless he decides to flat out give it all away in return for getting it out of there, I can't buy it all on my own, nor do I want all of it even if he does give it away for free, so the more people involved the better.
If we can find a temporary warehouse to move it to in order to sort it out, that would be great. I've had miserable luck in finding a cheap warehouse near me. Any ideas?
