Arcade Museum

[John Bennett]

[ukvac] Re: Arcade Museum
Has anyone thought about the insurance on this museum, collectively you
only need to get a few vectors within its walls and you will already
have several k's worth of equipment in one place, and if the place where
to burn to the ground or summin?

Just thought I'd mention it as a local (defunct!) computer company
decided to have a little collection of old computers in the reception
area a while back. They where astonished when they found out that it
would cost them alot more to insure the building because of it.

You've got to get an astro wars at least. The colour VFD display is so
cool and it's something the 'kids' may never have seen.

No you can't have my astrowars

At the moment I'll take just about anything, I think you should keep
the unopened coleco vision, I wouldn't want to be responsible for it
getting damaged !

I have seen Die Hard advertised for silly money, but then no one is
going to pay those sort of price's, when you come down you can feel a
sence of pride when you see little jonny filling your game up up with
50p's (god I hope so this is costing a fortune ! )

money for them, or trades.

As we are setting the place up as a shop everything will be stock.
Insurance is the least of my worries at the moment !

But yes we have considered it, and its all taken care of
