One of my best buys was actually a freebie also. I met a retired operator that had a few games for sale. Bought a few at really good prices. He then told me he had a huge barn full of games. Mix of vids, pins and jukeboxes. There was several hundred old games covered in dust. Two floors of them. We walked through and he started marking games with an X with his finger in the dust. When we got done with the walk through he turned to me and said I could have every game with an X. I showed up in my mini van the next day and started loading games. After a couple days he asked for my address and started delivering them to me in his box truck. Filled up my 20 x 40 garage, two storage units and every spare room in my house including the entire basement. When the barn was done he then told me he had another storage building with games in it. We then filled up my grandfathers 40 x 40 garage and my cousins garage. I started putting skids on the ground and stored empty video cabinets under tarps. I had junked jukeboxes lined up in rows from one end of the yard to the other covered in tarps.

Quoted from SadSack:

I bought a Joker Poker SS from a guy 160 miles away. He delivered it to me for $175. I put a couple bux and a few hours into it and operated it for 20 months. Took in $1136 in coin drop and sold the game to a gal who had to have it for $1500. And I got to keep the spare backglass (7/10).

Now that's what I call the "slow" flip.
