    Default Keep Them Or Sell Them?

    Based on the random pictures that appear, some of our members, such as Compirate and Arby have a large number pachinkos. You get a chance to play machines most members have never played or owned. How do you decide which machines to keep and which to sell? I mean when you get a machine like Julie Pinball, how can you sell it? Is it enough just to play them for a short time while you are prepping them for new owners?

    Keep extras, this way you still have one to yourself when friends drop by.
    I have too many for my space also this means today I am looking at stands with casters, so we can move them around when needed.

    I got a whole building full of machines, I keep one for myself if possible.
    I have never found a bad machine, just some not as advanced as others.

    Like I love all women, and some women are worth loving longer (You can ask my wife, she one of those loving longer types).

    Best, but not cheapest way...get a bigger house and keep them all.
    Check my member page here or...

    Temporarily, go to youtube.com and search for BudgeRahe for videos. Until I get the links set up in the museum

    I shopped the big box stores for pachi stands with casters so we can setup/remove the machines quickly. When we have too many guests the game room gets an air matress. Walmart has OK single machine stands for $26, add in a set of casters, $5.00 not bad.
    I liked a sofa table, we can get two on it and the height is right. Too expensive for a piece of pine!
    I decided to build my own double stand on casters and matching singles.
    I will post to mods/gameroom section when I get pic's.
