Where do i get arcade machine for my new store?

Question

hi,many of you know that when you walk into a variety store, sometimes you will see some arcade machines. i'm opening a new store now and i was just wondering where would you get that? rental or something like that?

Answer 1

In the phone book look up amusements/arcade in the yellow pages and let you fingers do the walking. Go with a rental of these machines it is more beneficial to you. They amusement company will maintain and change the games and you will get a percentage of the revenue. This should cost you next to nothing.

Answer 2

The best route is to contact the local vending company and have them install it. You get a cut of the sales without the cost of repairs.

You can buy the machines, but they are a fortune and will have to operate many years without break downs before you turn a profit. I had very good luck running an arcade where I didn't own any of the machines and got 50% of the cut.

A simple gumball or candy machine will probably last forever but some of the new arcade games are just too complicated. You might want to try Sams Club. They offer some of the simple machines. You can find some good deals on e-bay, but make sure the seller is local. Also check the local paper and auction flyers. I got a giant gumball machine at an auction for less then $10! All it needed was a new lock that I bought on e-bay.

Answer 3

RENTAl is not good. BUT call a company and have them put them there and you get a certain percentage. AND they fix the machines too.
