Title: Re: Finally Post by: slotsteve on July 23, 2010, 05:37:32 PM Right now just getting open is all we need to do, we had a booth in a consignment shop, but new owners took it over last july and killed the biz, It cost us 187 per month there for a 8 x 16 booth here we,ll paid less and have over 1500 sq ft, We had put alot of offers out on other places but no bites,we are 6months behind where we wanted to be but saved 100k,over some of our offers. We left nj to retire, only have 170 pin,s 120 igt i games and about 25 jap slots and around 50 pre 1950 slots, a few jukes and mega,s , 40 palets of gen mechandise from our auction in nj ,If i keep busy we won,t go to harrahs as much
Title: Re: Finally Post by: golflover on July 23, 2010, 05:55:20 PM Well the next Martinsville race isn;t til october 24th... :89- So you run a consignment shop or own the entire slot business. Pinballs too eh :) I don;t have one of those yet. And i will now be down that way quite a bit, my daughter just took a job in Richmond this week and plans on living in the Norfolk/VA beach area.. So I'll be doing alot of visiting down that way.

Title: Re: Finally Post by: a69mopar on July 24, 2010, 06:55:20 PM Steve, Congratulations on getting the landlord monkey off your back. I just wonder how long before you expand your 1500 square foot building. With 2 acres you could put up a huge steel building..... Your wife sounds awesome too..
Thanks, Wayne Title: Re: Finally Post by: slotsteve on July 24, 2010, 11:36:27 PM I have wharehouse where i live we just didn,t want non nlg people coming to our house , so we bought a store front
