Sell Your Arcade & FEC Equipment at Auction in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX
Selling off a game floor one machine at a time is slow and uncertain. Listing a claw machine here, a racing game there, and coordinating pickups can drag on for months while your lease clock keeps running. An auction solves that. It puts all of your games and equipment in front of many buyers at once, on a set date, and lets competition set the price.
For sellers, the advantages are straightforward:
​
-
​Speed: an entire property sells on one scheduled date rather than trickling out over months.
-
Real market value: competing bidders, not a guessed price tag, determine what your games and equipment bring.
-
One clean event: the whole property is emptied and settled on a defined timeline, which matters!
-
Transparency: you receive documented results showing exactly what each lot sold for.

How Our Arcade & FEC Liquidation Auctions Work in DFW
We manage the entire process so you do not have to. A typical arcade or FEC liquidation runs in five steps:
Step 1: Consultation and valuation
We walk the venue (or review your game and attraction list and photos), assess the assets, and recommend the right auction approach for your timeline and goals.
Step 2: Cataloging and photography
We inventory and photograph every lot so buyers know exactly what they are bidding on.
Step 3: Marketing
We put your games and equipment in front of our buyer network and the wider market of FEC and arcade operators, route operators, collectors, dealers, and the public actively looking for amusement equipment.
Step 4: The auction
We run the sale online, on-site, or as a hybrid, whichever reaches the most buyers for your assets.
Step 5: Removal and settlement
Buyers remove their purchases within a set window, and you receive an itemized settlement with your funds on a defined timeline.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I sell my arcade and FEC equipment?
Most arcade and FEC liquidations are scheduled and completed within 3-4 weeks, far faster than selling games one at a time. The auction method of marketing is the fastest available method of liquidation currently available today. If you are on a tight lease deadline, tell us and we will build the timeline around it.
How do you charge for an FEC or arcade liquidation?
Auctioneers are typically compensated through a seller's commission, a percentage of the total sale, and many auctions also include a buyer's premium paid by the buyer. The right structure depends on the size and type of your sale, and we put the full fee arrangement in writing before you commit, by law.
Who buys used arcade games and FEC equipment?
There is strong and varied demand. Other FEC and arcade operators, route operators, arcade and pinball collectors, equipment dealers, and the public all compete for used games and attractions, and that competition is exactly what drives strong results at auction.
Can you handle large or installed attractions like bowling, go-karts, or laser tag?
Yes. Large and installed attractions are sold as-is, with buyers responsible for removal. We coordinate the schedule and building access so bigger items and anything that needs disassembly come out safely and on time.
Do you handle removal and cleanout?
Yes. Buyers are responsible for removing their own purchases within a set window after the sale, which clears your space as part of the process. We coordinate the schedule so the location is emptied on time.
Is the auction online or on-site?
Both are options. Depending on your equipment and location, we run online auctions, on-site auctions, or a hybrid of the two, choosing whatever reaches the most qualified buyers and returns the most for your assets in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX.
Are you licensed?
Yes. Every sale is conducted under Texas Auctioneer License #18533, issued by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). Texas licenses auctioneers but does not license estate sale companies, or some commercial liquidation companies, so this is worth confirming with anyone you consider.
