Default If you sold all of your arcades..would you??

Take the poll....

If you sold your arcades would you open another one or go off to something else?

this question was inspired from Peter's theread http://talkarcades.com/promotional-t...-net-sold.html

If you can, tell why you voted that way.

I would probably start a new arcade simply because I like this niche, its hard but there is a lot of support for it as well (for someone who isnt a pro like me) its nice to have. Plus I like the challenge sometimes

I would stay in the arcade biz and start another 1. Love it to much

I have heaps of other sites other than arcades to fall back on though.

How about doing both. If I got enough money I would probably set up a new arcade and also work on something else

I would start another arcade. I've tried running other types of sites (forums, video sites, joke sites) but I sucked at running them all. Arcades seem to be the only site I am (sort of) good at.

Yea definatey start another. Only just started learning about all this, and if I sell GameDoller in the future, then I'd probably buy a bigger arcade site and then another bigger one etc...
