How We Make A PROFIT Off Dave & Buster's!

[@djess5802]

I really like your channel compared to some other overrated arcade channels, congrats on 10k!

[@BargainBarons]

Ben and Aune are *THE BEST!!* Some of the other channels are WAY too over the top - screaming and yelling and acting like fools - Not Ben and Aune!! They down to earth real people! :D :D :D :D :D

[@TheArcadeCouple]

Thanks so much :) We're just being ourselves!

[@thegameradmin]

With your same math, if you could reliably get the jackpot on a 3.4 chip game every time then you could potentially get something like a Nintendo Switch for $68. Amazing!

[@Onyxandjoe2]

I know Aune wasn’t a huge fan of you crunching the numbers, but I really enjoyed it!! I’ve always known there was a way to break everything down into dollar amounts, but never took the time to do it myself, so this was great!!

[@brandyuribe584]

Love the video! Very informative! Aune's face when you were crunching numbers had me laughing😂

[@ericramsey2528]

I cant say it enough. Great channel and Amazing hosts. And the little nuggets you give us on game play is spectacular!! Thank you. Have a Great Sunday.

[@ArcadeWarrior]

Awesome video guys!

[@TheArcadeCouple]

Thanks so much Erik! Have you been to the Clubhouse Fun Center in Greece recently? We just went ... they've got loads of new games!

[@joncesario2748]

Great video, guys. I love the look on Aune's face when you're "crunching the numbers." It's a look I know all too well. lol! Keep up the good work.

[@Kristi-lb6xr]

Thats cool! And makes alot of sence. Good luck 💙💙 hope to see you profit again

How long did it take you to win it? If you put a dollar amount to your time then you have a lesser difference.

[@TheArcadeCouple]

Darren MacIver it took about 10 minutes. I’m cheap labor anyways ;)

[@kingsviking]

@@TheArcadeCouple then well worth it for sure. Thanks!

Another winning video you guys!! :D *THUMBS UP!* :D

[@WooHooSportsCards]

WoooooHooooo!! Nice quick and fun win for profit! I really think you all hod the buyers info since it was secretly Aune who purchased it...she looked like she was in love with the Butterfly Squish-mellow or just super sleepy and used it as a squish-pillow...lol Love the channel...very awesome video...just wish I lived back in the US so I could have some fun....lol...maybe when I go back for vacation or visiting. God bless you both....WoooooHooooo!!

[@Craniacs]

Wtf hahahaha this math has me tripping hahahaha

[@TheArcadeCouple]

I'm going to start holding training sessions. Get rich quick schemes by beating the system at Dave & Buster's! For the low cost of $500 I will explain the math and share the secrets with you. And if you invite a friend I'll give you a $5 coupon to McDonalds. And if that friend invites a friend I'll give you another $5 coupon and your friend will receive a $5 coupon. Slowly I will begin to develop my Ponzi Scheme .... you're invited.

[@zeejustin6]

This is cool I had no idea there could be so much profit in these, there's some of these near where I live, I might give it a go on half price days and see if I can get some coupons.

[@clashofgoodly]

Heyyy!! Just saw the community post for it.

[@zeejustin6]

I like these kind of vids, make moar!!! Aune was v. bored though lol. Bored but geniune, ha.

[@haydend380]

Awesome video! Next time you give milk jug toss a go, try hitting the character on the back wall in the chin. It kills the momentum of the ball and usually falls right in the jug.

[@TheArcadeCouple]

I've got like 4 different strategies for this game haha ... including that one. Just always trying to figure out which one is most effective. But the muscle memory takes much practice.

[@haydend380]

Have you found that different locations/machines play differently?

[@moosetube]

Last year Moose mentioned this type of video to an arcade channel who will remain nameless...on the game Tailgate Toss. They could JP it every time. I was told my suggestion “..would take all the fun out of it” ... smash cut to their next video about them trying to win enough tickets for a Blender or some appliance. 😡 I think these type of videos are GREAT (Disinterested numbers Aune aside) and LoL @ the return of “Mary” guy! I knew right away that was him/her. Oh, and Stranger Danger Nervous Aune in full effect with that encounter AGAIN! Thanks! Byyeeeeeeeeeee-Professional Gamer!

[@TheArcadeCouple]

Hmmmm I think I know who you're talking about. It's a great concept though! People love watching those storage locker videos or thrift store flipping channels. I think this is a fun way to incorporate the same kind of theme. We have $5 to spend. What can we win ... and how much can we sell it for to make profit!? So yes ... there will be more of these to come. If you have the skill and ability to win games like Tailgate Toss or Down the Clown ... then you've got to take advantage. But I don't like how they shoved #moosetube off. Thumbs down there! One of these days I'm fully expecting the stranger will end up being Moose himself! haha! That would be crazy!

[@x0xBabsx0x]

Thank you for the tips!

[@TheArcadeCouple]

Thanks for the comments :) .

[@cheffboyardee123]

I'm almost sure the best bang for your buck is the machine where you drop 50 balls into the revolving buckets. If the jackpot is maxed out at 1000 tickets it gives you a couple of extra seconds and you can drop 4 at a time in each bucket and drop 2 at the end and easily win the jackpot. Only downfall is you have to wait for it to go back up from 500 and it only goes up 5 tickets everytime someone plays.

[@TheArcadeCouple]

That's a good machine to play ... but the one at our location malfunctions too often. Dropping 2 balls instead of 1 at a time. It's an easy jackpot when the jackpot is 750 and above. Having to get those buckets of 5 does make it difficult but not impossible.

[@robertbelar5341]

Did you add the cost of gas?

[@Maddogmadmoney]

Where did you get the 20 off 20 coupon? Just curious

[@TheArcadeCouple]

You need to register your card on the Dave and Buster's app. You can also register it with an email and they will send you a coupon. Usually it's a $20 for $20 coupon but recently they've been doing things like $10 for $20 ... you can also look up coupons online too :) Hope this helps!

@@TheArcadeCouple yeah for sure thanks! I have my card registered on the app and two emails they never seem to send me any though idk must be random . Thanks

[@johnbonnett5593]

How often do you get those coupons, I have not seen one yet.

[@pika23]

I'm gonna go the route of Mercari. Ebay says I owe them six dollars for fees that I thought they took. Threatening to send me to collections.

[@TheArcadeCouple]

Ebay is confusing!!!!!!! Mercari is the simplest selling platform I've ever used. They did just change some shipping rules which have been a little bit troublesome ... but for the most part they're upfront and customer service is always responsive!

[@froglady1169]

Omg I love that butterfly.

[@frontporchfoundryaaron2920]

Nice profit 👍 I'm curious to know what's your biggest profit to date?

[@TheArcadeCouple]

Not sure honestly. The higher the item the bigger potential for profit. I was able to win an Nintendo Switch for around $150. I sold that switch for $275 and after selling feels and shipping I walked away with $250. So there's a $100 profit. I don't think we've done better then that though.

[@lisbethescobedo2574]

The butterfly is so cute

[@stuartscovel9265]

unfortunately they just eliminate the tickets altogether on games when people blast them. thespace invaders game that used to give 500 bonus tickets for beating a certain score now isnot even offering any tix at all. i wasgoing on wednesdays and was getting brand new ps4's and xboxes for around $105..... oh well. then mastered rampage game and was getting the 1k bonus tix every two swipes. again, still getting ps4 or xbox for around 119 then. and yep, again, got rid of tix totally. my moral? corporate stinks. ugh lol

Kinda sorta....need to calc your overhead like gas...shipping..etc. Still interesting.
