What's going on with arcade stuff (general question)

Hi All,

I have been out of the arcade seen for about 1 year now. I have mainly
been focusing all of my attention to Pinball machines. Just today I
accuired a bulk of some really good stuff.

DK control panels, DL CPU, Sinistar boardset, Defender boards, Pac man
boards, Gorf boardset, Looping boardset, a few more items.

I wanted to know if the parts market has softened or is it still as
strong as it was a year ago.

Thanks,

Craig

It's definitely softened. The arcade market has dipped in general over
the past 1-2 years, while the pinball market is stronger than ever. A
cycle that comes and goes for sure

I don't think it will ever return to the old days for vids.
I mean, how many pac-man's and DK are out there? (tons).
We all have/had one by now.
I don't see the market for that kind of stuff improving.
Only rare hard to find items.

IMO, even the low end pinball's have softened, at less for the summer
anyway.


Troy,

Yeah, softened.

Started going downhill the minute I made my first bulk buy, about 1 or
1½ years ago.

Just my luck.

I'm still looking for a DEFENDER in the Louisville KY area (zip code
40165).
