Arcade 1up Cabinets on sale at Ollie's Bargain Outlets

So I tend to stock some high end arcade cabinets at each property and then fill them out with a lot more cheaper Arcade1up cabinets. I only get them when they are on sale somewhere for $299 or I get them used off FB marketplace. At that price I can just swap them in and out if it goes bad, but actually I tend to bring the broken ones back home and fix them and then put it back in the rotation. It does give a visual pop when you show a row of arcade cabinets vs just one sitting there.

Anyway, I know some people hate them. I get it. But Ollie's Bargain Outlets got a shipment in of these that they distributed all across the country. I was late to the party but I did pick up a spare cabinet yesterday. The sale started on Saturday and I found out by all these guys posting what they snagged at Ollie's that day. By the time I got wind of it the Ollie's in my area were down to just Ms Pac Man and Marvel vs Capcom, but some guys were picking up Star Wars cabinets, WrestleMania, TMNTs, etc.. all with risers too for $299.

Anyway if you are interested in picking up some extra arcade cabinets cheap, this as cheap as they come. Just call your local Ollie's and see what they still have in stock.

Why was my first thought, after fondly reminiscing about how much I miss Ollies, that these things look like they will tip over and crush someone's little darling? But it is a great deal. 


You could anchor them to the wall, using the furniture anchor kits they have for dressers  because kids climb them with the drawers open and tip them over.  I have my dressers anchored in my STR.  https://www.walmart.com/ip/Furniture-Anchors-10-Packs-Wall-A...
