    Don't get discouraged . Hang in there and be patient a good deal will come your way. Heck I got a couple this past year myself. Networking is the best way. Ask your barber , bank teller, mechanic, doctor, IRS agent etc. if he or she might know of anyone with a broken or unused game in the garage. I built a collection with this method. Just a example of pricing Broken Diner $250.00 Black Knight 2000 $1295.00 Taxi 495.00 I can go on and on but will not, granted these all needed work but they are still out there. Dig deeper. Whenever I drive around a neighborhood and see open garage doors I look for machines. Don't be afraid to knock on the front door and ask. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

    Good luck and happy hunting,
    Rob
