Welcome to my 'trade or sale' page, where you'll find quite a few unique and rare arcade game items that will no doubt be of interest (after all, that's likely what brought you here !).
Please be sure to read the paragraph below, in order that you understand a few issues that are most important with regard to my items. Feel free to with any questions (please include a reference to the item number's) of interest), and when you are ready, click here to send your payment. All transactions are secure, and made via PayPal (using either a PayPal account, or your credit card, with no PayPal account needed). For more information on my history of doing business (on the Internet, and in general), you can check out my PayPal page. Oh, and please let me know if you have some interesting (primarily 80's) arcade items / memorabilia, and perhaps we can even work out a trade.Unless otherwise noted, all items (other than DVD's): 1) have low-cost $3 standard / ground shipping & handling charges to the lower 48 states (other areas will be considered, depending on current shipping restraints and conditions), and usually ship out within the two business days (M-F) following the day payment was received; 2) are original stock, original coin-op production items, many of which I obtained in the 80's on trips to the coin-op divisions of Atari, Exidy, and more (many are never-used, 'new old-stock' items (NOS), and a number (like the non-vinyl marquees) were taken from games that were put on location, and later converted to another title); 3) are in very limited supply, and most are quantity one only (therefore, if you want it, get it now, not later !); and 4) are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. If someone else's payment barely beats another's for the same item, I must in fairness sell to the early payer, no matter when the original inquiry may have been made.
Note that the $3 shipping / handling charge not only applies to all items, but to all orders, no matter what the size ! So, whether it's 1 item, or 100 items, shipping is still just $3 total !
Well, thanks very much for looking over this page, and, I hope I can help you enjoy some great arcade items soon !
