From Arcade to Money Made!

I love to haul away vintage arcade machines.  They’re popular among collectors as long as they work.

More than that, I love to make money for our clients when we sell their good stuff and give them money back.  That’s popular among everybody, as long as they work.

The Popeye Arcade Machine Job

A nice lady in Great Falls, Virginia contacted us to haul away some of her stuff.  Among that stuff was a vintage Popeye Nintendo arcade machine.  She paid us $250 to haul away two pickup truck loads of stuff, using our Speedpass link on our website.  The normal price for this amount of hauling is $350…

So on the first visit we hauled away some junk, including some carpet, a chair, and some miscellaneous stuff.  We left the arcade machine to haul away on the next visit but we did take some photos of it so we could put it up for sale.

Thank You Facebook Marketplace!

I checked online and found this same machine selling for about $400.  One guy was asking $2,450, but no one went after it.  So I listed her machine on Facebook Marketplace for $795 after plugging the machine in and verifying that it worked.  Within 48 hours I had sold it for my asking price.

Cash Back for the Customer on the Arcade Machine

Women with cash back from arcade sale

She got $280 back within 48 hours after only spending $250 on her junk removal job!

Whenever we sell something that we’re hauling away for a customer, they get 35 percent of the sales price as long as we sell it for more than $20.  Our client’s share on this one sale was $280!  She was thrilled to get the money plus we still have other items to sell!

Welcome to the next generation of junk removal–cash back when we sell your good stuff!  (We must be eating our spinach…)
