    I've come to the realization that I have a problem. It seems to be a common problem in this hobby, and it is that I don't have enough space. As you can see by my profile I have too many games (plus two arcade style games--Penny Pitch & ICB).

    I've already sold almost all of the working games that I could part with, and even that was hard. Most of the rest are keepers, for one reason or another.
    Of the non-working games (7 of them) they're all either in storage or at someone else's house. And these are projects that I will be getting to--I enjoy this side of pinball a lot.
    I have two working games at our cottage, and another at a friend's house on permanent loan.

    There are currently 16 working games (plus the arcades) in the basement. To make the space usable, I really need to take out 3-5 games. The options are to store them or sell them, neither of which I feel very good about.

    So what have you done when you reach this point? Move? Addition? Commercial space? Sell? Find more friends to loan out games?

    We bought a bigger house.

    It all started here

    Absolutely the best solution I've seen. I would love to do this, unfortunately the city lot I live on is barely large enough to fit my house/garage, so no room at all. Hmmm, maybe I could put a basement under my garage??
