Greenfield Indiana – Buy / Sell Pinball and Arcade Games
If you live in Greenfield Indiana and are looking to sell some pinball machines or arcade games that are taking up space, you’ve come to the right place. Or maybe you’re trying to track down a certain game, maybe a Donkey Kong for yourself, or a Pac-man for a present for Christmas, I might be able to help you as well.
Buying used Arcade Games in Greenfield
They can be empty cabinets, they can be complete working, or non working arcade games, or even pinball machines, but either way I will purchase and haul away any old coin operated equipment you might have. If you are in the Greenfield area, or any surrounding cities like New Palestine, Morristown, Knightstown, Carthage, Arlington or even Rushville I would be willing to come out and buy any games that you have individually or in bulk.
Who am I?
My name is Jeff, and I run this site. I am really into collecting arcade games hence this website. Weekly I write about the local collecting hobby and my own experiences with fixing and restoring old arcade and pinball games. I am in Indianapolis and own a number of old classic games like Ms. Pac-man, Mr. Do! and Pengo.

How much do arcade games cost?
Starting a home gameroom out on the east side of Indy? Just built a new home with a great space for some arcade games or pinball machines? Greenfield is certainly the place to do it. But how much do some of these popular classics cost?
First off, don’t believe eBay. There are retail sellers that will try to sell some of these games for $1500-$3000 dollars. If you pay $3000 for anyone of the games listed above, you’ve been ripped off. A game like Dig Dug working, in great condition shouldn’t cost more than $400, and sometimes can be purchased with some scuffs and dings for $200.
Repair an arcade / pinball in Greenfield
If you are out on the east side around Greenfield, or as far away as Rushville, you are in luck. One of the few repair shops around Indianapolis is located in Greenfield – Docpinball. They mostly do pinball sales, and certainly could hook you up if you are looking for a pinball machine like The Addams Family, Twilight Zone, Medievil Madness or Star Trek. Docpinball also builds multigames, so you can play up to 100’s of classic games in one machine. Visit Docpinball.com for more information. You can read here about my service experiences with Docpinball, formerly Wagner Gameworks.
Most of the games they sell will be in the $1,000++ range. Some of those pinballs can cost several thousand, so just be aware.
