“Is this thread still worthwhile?”

  • This thread is past it's prime and is now boring me to tears! It no longer provides useful information. It's time to call it a day and close this thread down! 0 votes
  • While it may not be exciting or fun as other threads on Pinside, I still read this thread and am glad it is still being updated. There is still good information here and I pick up some helpful tips along the way. Keep it going! 48 votes

Quoted from Pecos:

There I was holding air and no longer a sheet of glass.

Funny feeling isn't it. Reminds me of the old rhyme: "No other feeling can quite compare, with stepping on a step that isn't there."

Quoted from DNO:

If I put 5-30K worth of equipment into a bar, ie. jukebox, pins, pool tables, arcade, etc..,, you can bet there will be a contract. And all standard contracts have exclusive rights to operate in them. If you want the best equipment, and for ME to take all the monetary risk to help YOU make side money and bring in traffic, you can sign the contract.
I would be more than happy to provide Pecos with a copy, PM if you would like to take a look, you can modify.

All true. Plus, if you want to try to compete with the big dogs, you better have a wad of cash to "loan" to the location owner. Especially if the location is a new business. Payback is usually done with the operator taking all of the proceeds until the "loan" is paid off.
