I'm in awhh of the em parts pics....counting change in my couch hasn't found 25K yet, unfortunately 
Just wanted to say best wishes on finding the collection a new person when the timing/deal is right. Someone out there would LOVE the opportunity to have such turn key parts collection available, I'm sure!
Quoted from Pin-up:This is all very interesting to me and I've read the whole thread.
Last year I finished buying out most of the last building of an operator in the Chicago area and have been sorting through all of that stuff bit by bit and getting organized.
I have plenty of space in a 4k sq. ft work shop on my property, temp controlled year round. I've already got a stock of parts growing from collecting/buying/selling for the past 10-15 years of arcade, gallery, bowler, pinball em and ss games, and I have the time to put into the business year round. I wish I was closer to discuss this opportunity. I can't see flying to PA just to look and discuss though. Maybe something like this will pop up in the Chicago area soon.
Good luck with the sale!
So jealous of having square footage 
(I grew up in MP by the way).
Quoted from too-many-pins:The biggest issue for someone too far away is going to be transportation cost. Basically we are talking about a full tractor trailer load of parts and parts machines. Unless someone has some great connections that much stuff will not be cheap to move beyond locally. If my other buyer doesn't work out I'll be posting an update on this thread. At that point feel free to reach out to me via PM and we can talk some. The way I have things figured out I really doubt it would be necessary for someone to see everything in person for a deal to make sense to them. I don't want to disclose why on a public forum but there is enough value to this deal it will pretty much be impossible for a buyer not to make great money on it. The way I see the math is if a buyer hit the ground running they could have their investment back in about 10 months to a year and still have over 80% of the parts including lots of great hard to find little items for working on their own machines.
I'm all for a local boy to me getting this deal! Helps get a LOT of possible needed parts in future much closer to me ;D
All seriousness though, I hope deals all go well for you
You do sound very in the middle. Hard, in general, to decide on major things without feeling either rushed or, flip side, too slow on something...
Either way best wishes.
And, either way, do us EM guys a favor of making sure we can know who/how to contact for those "been searching all over, do you happen to have..." parts (be it you or a new person).
