Is it bad that I was all in it for collecting now im in it for on location ??
I started to collect the games just over a year ago. When I got my first 2 at the same time, a Time pilot ans a Street fighter 2 . Then I had to run across a youtube channel John's Arcade . Well I had a home arcade of 9 games in around 7 months . Then a guy from a place in town found out I had games and wanted me to put some on location.Fast forward  4 months later . I have , I think 47 games and around ten of them spit out tickets  Tongue . Sad to say that is what making money for me to be in this hobby / or just plane out pay for parts every week .
So back to the is it bad that I was in it for collecting for me  or is this a ok way to make my collection bigger and let other s play too Huh?

id say money wise, I guess it would be a mistake for me..  locating 20 games for a yeah  vs painting one car and making all the money in one shot.

Would you stick a dedicated Journey machine or dragons lair  in a location and share that?

Oh im sorry what I meant was, id rather $3000 painting a car in a week than put 20 of my machines out at locations.
when this fucking snow goes away , ill be more on the car scene until next fall.
