So an arcade I went to has a Metallica, TWD, GB, and GoT. The games have been on site for years, not really serviced but still pretty decent. I asked if they would sell the Metallica because that's one of my favorites and he said he'd sell them as a package for 20k. I really shouldn't lay out that much cash but almost feel like that's too good of a deal. I could sell the other 3... you know in this buyers market... what should I do?

Quoted from FlippyD:

Define not really serviced but still pretty decent?
$20k isn't a steal, games are gonna need a lot of work.
Listen to the other guys, offer something lower and see where that gets ya.

They haven't gotten played that much. I've been there many times and I'm the only person I've seen play them. No noticeable wear on any of them. Except one coin door. Just seeing what more experienced people would do. So counter with a lower offer?

I wonder if I brought 15k cash and said take it or leave it...

Quoted from LTG:

I wouldn't do that.
Keep on target, keep it simple. Don't distract him from the deal or give him a reason to think.
15 thousand dollar bundles of 20's in a brown paper bag. Pull them out, place in a pile. Something plain, "this is all I got. take it or leave it".
If he says no. Slowly place money back in bag. If he doesn't weaken. Walk.
LTG : )

He's not a pinball guy or arcade guy. He's a business man. I know he's not on pinside. I think cash talks, b.s. walks with him. He's not making money on them now so making cash might sway him

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

Pro:
It’s one stop shopping for 4 pretty good titles, and you know the games
Con:
I don’t think you are getting any bargains at $5k a routed game. You are also making it seriously easier for the op by taking them all at once to someone he knows and that adds more value for him.
I don’t see why anybody would be offended by a $15k cash offer. See no reason not to start there.
He’s not gonna walk away in a huff if you have a sack of cash with you, I think people here are confusing him with a hobbyist.

This is my thoughts...

I asked "would you sell Metallica?" He said "I'll sell them all."

That sounds like someone ready to move.
