Don't. You'll lose every dime you put into it.
That said, try googling arcade cabinets and see what comes up. I'm sure there is some shit on ebay too.
Could you just forward your money into my paypal account then? Cause seriously this is the worst idea you can have, as much as I commend you for trying. There's no more market anymore for people going to arcades.Quote:

What is this "arcade" you speak of? Ah, now that's something I have not seen in a long time. We used to have a really good arcade around here, but after the initial booming open, it went dead. Twas a sad fate.
Yeah, make sure you're using the arcade as either support for another business or...support for some type of food service.
Get some batting cages. People love batting cages and leagues of every baseball level will want to use em. My local arcade has lived off the revune from batting cages and birthday parties for years. The ownership changed hands some time ago, so I'm not sure what's there now. I should poke my head in and see.
...yea...I didnt plan on having just an arcade. There would be food and what not, and maybe even batting cages, who knows. A few pool tables...it would be more of a hangout, I live in secaucus, a pretty small suburb about 3 miles outside of NYC. My original question was...does any1 no where i can LEASE arcade games? Not buy...I would have a few ddr machines...the traditional machines of course, basketball, shooting games, BEATMANIA of course...lol arcades dont outright buy the machines, unless they are milionaires who open them...they lease them. So, does any1 know where I can lease games, to open an arcade??
Have you tried the yellow pages? I've only seen places that rent machines...they may lease. You could always go to an arcade and ask them where they get them/who services them. There's probably a sticker on the cabs too.
You are so bad at finding information, I think your arcade will fail.Quote:

Noobs.
