I'm looking for my first EM game and wonder where they come from. I've noticed the majority of games for sale on Craigs list in my area or e-bay are from flippers that generally have no knowledge of where the game has been and it is often not working. I understand these games are at least 40 years old and not working may be the norm. Are some of these games still being used in arcades and bars or have they been retired a long time ago? Where do the flippers find these games? If I have to take on the unknown and fix a machine I'd like to find one without paying for the flipper markup. If it works I don't mind paying more. I don't mean to sound cheap, but some of the machines in my area are priced as if they work when they don't. Where do these games come from?
