Just had a quick question for you guys, has anyone rented out pins from the collection to local businesses? I feel myself keep wanting and wanting to buy more pins, however I am running out of room and my family might kill me if I try to squeeze another one in. So I figured, why not rent a couple out to some local pizza shops etc... I just don't have the heart yet to sell any of them, so if I could make a small amount of money off of these things AND make room for more, I'm in!

Has anyone done this? Do you charge by the month or just split the coins with the business? I was thinking about just offering a pin or two to a business, I would fix/check up on it/them regularly in exchange for a small profit and getting it out of my house for a bit. Maybe even switching the games out every so often.

I own mostly only EM's but one SS. I was just thinking I would swap out the bulbs for LED's so I wouldn't need to worry as much about the EM's being left on all day every day.

Thoughts? Experience?

That has gone through my mind.

Yeah I'm not sure, I've got to ask around.

I had thought about that, I just wasn't too sure if people would want to rent older EM's like the ones I have to offer. If it was sitting in the corner of a local popular pizza joint, it would get some use and the business might be more apt to having in their business? Thanks for the input thus far guys!

That's not a bad thought. Yeah, I'm trying to find a bigger space to keep them all together. I guess the big thought I had regarding renting them out is letting people have the chance to play some pinball locally again. And if I make a few quarters in the process, that's awesome too!

I agree. Yeah I had my doubts for sure. Thanks for the input!
