[RKnarr01]

he's a member here, i believe he does some pretty neat custom machines

[Tulsa]

Yes, he's a member here but I don't think he does any customs. I think you're thinking of DapperDan.

[doodude]

Hes managed to get great prices on almost everything. Of course I cant remember what it is he got right now but I remember seeing that all the dollar figures are pretty low...
Whats he do with them all???

[RKnarr01]

maybe i am wrong then tulsa, i thought he did that star wars custom though?

[luckydog]

He sells at flea markets

[doodude]

Youd think hed have to get an even better deal on them than what I saw in order to make it worth while.
How much would they go for at flea markets?

[Tulsa]

Drugdoc did the starwars customs.

[RKnarr01]

ok thats who i was confusing him for thanks for the clarification

An uncle of mine runs a small time flea market, and he was telling me that a guy brought in a pachi that played "rock around the clock music" in bonus and brought in 3 oh hannabi machines and a king camel. he said with in 3 days the guy had sold the king camel for 349 the oh hannabis for 229, a piece. the guy brought in 3 more hannabis and they sold as well. He said he charges a flat fee plus % of sold goods. whether this is bs or no I dunno, but he said if the guy is being honest with him on the amount he is paying him for his % of sold goods, based on calculations, the guy is bringing in close to 5-7,000/month. and he said he gets them off ebay. He is trying to get enough cash to get a warehouse and buy a container. And just sell out of his own place because due to the lease he signed for his apartment, he cannot have a bussiness that attracts people to the location.

our local flea market is 199.00 and up with 500 new tokens. he only has one machine for 199.00 on display. he usually sells the higher priced ones.

his King Camel had a 349.00 price tag on it. he sold a pink panther for 250.00 only because he got a good buy on it.

his rent is over 500.00 a month, for only 2 days of sales a week. plus his time!!!

[RKnarr01]

500 for only 8 days a month, that seems overpriced in my area you can get a 5000 SF warehouse for between 2000-3000 for 30 days a month. it averages out to be about the same cost but lucky how much floorspace does he get for that price

[luckydog]

a double booth indoors with electric. he can leave all his machines there and it is a very high traffic flea market. he started out with a single booth, but it was just to cramped. he gets a lot of repeat customers,

storage places here charge 120.00 a month just for a single car garage with no electric.

My ex-wife runs a small thrift store for the christian school that both my kids went to,

the rent there was 1,700.00 a month plus utilities 3 years ago.

commercial real estate is where the money is i would love to be able to invest into some of it

You just have to be patient and wait for what you are willing to pay, just like Tulsa just did with his King Camel. I also have the Don Don King that Pashislo.com had during their first special for $89.00.

[Lazarus]

This is the almost the same deal Mile slot has except he gets his own containers. He has bean doing it for years so it must be worth it. It does mean no time off though. Dave works a full time job and does it every weekend at the Mile fair location. I got to give him credit!

[doodude]

Very cool, Brad!
That waiting thing is a learned virtue I think.
When you just start out you want it all & you want it now!
Thanks to the good advise of others, you included, Im getting a little wiser & a little better at finding the good deals.

[Tulsa]

That Dark Striker looks sweet, nice find. Since it's not a model everyone is familiar with are you going to do a review for us?

[luckydog]

bill at our flea market has a full time lawn business during the week, his love of pachi got him into the flea market business.

[minnesotabrad]

Will do Tulsa. I should be getting it next week. I am having this one shipped to the office and will try and sneak it home later. That way it will appear to the wife that I took a little break from buying.
