I really enjoyed how they were so close I could ride up and save in shipping. My favorite thing is the site had videos for most of the machines. I will really miss them.

Hello. Now that the cat is out of the bag, I am the one that acquired all of 5B stock. It is being loaded up and moved to Ohio this week. We do plan to offer the stock back for sale, but the timeline for that has not been established yet.

You are welcome to ask questions I will do my best to answer them.

I wasn't saying anything either since I didn't see anything posted on here, but now that the cat is out of the bag I just wanted to say that I went there this weekend to acquire a machine or 2 from Chris at 5 Brothers that he had reserved for me before the sale, and ended up leaving with three. Would have grabbed one or two more but I had the family with me and no more room left in the car. Offered to leave the boys behind as slave labor but unfortunately they declined.

Chatted for a bit with the guys while we there and they were all really cool people. They did cut me a pretty good deal on the Macross machine I'm trying to get up and running right now, and have been pretty patient and helpful with me while I'm working on it. I'll miss John and wish him the best, but I think the machines are going to some really good guys and will be in capable hands.

I am definitely looking forward to doing business with them in the future. Just not looking forward to the shipping prices.

Will you be setting up an online storefront and continue to maintain inventory, or will it be a one time sell-off to turn around the stock purchased from Five Brothers?

Hello yes they are out of the business. Nobody was buying any machines so they closed the doors. I purchased a Rocky 2006 slot last year but it arrived damaged by ups delivery. $500.00 in the hole almost lost. Thanks to paypal they recovered my losses. Too bad i really wanted a rocky 2006 slot. Seems like every retailer is out of the business. I heard that japan would rather trash the machines in a dump and strip the screens from them.

other peoples trash is our treasures

I would be interested in purchasing a Ghost in the Shell machine when they become available.

Five Brothers was fairly local for me. Just sad that I got into Pachinko so recently, otherwise John could have put his kids through college with the stuff I would have bought!

But I do look forward to dealing with the guys in Ohio, they seem like a cool group of guys!

Well...Ohio is a bit closer than Virginia.
Road Trip!

Check with happierr to see where they are. I was under the impression that they were not planning to take them to Ohio due to the size.
