Arcade Flyers for Sale
May 4, 2008 - Week 14
Hello, my name is Dan and you've reached my personal video game web site. I am also one of the owners of The Arcade Flyer Archive (TAFA). I buy flyers for TAFA with my own money and have no complaints about it. I've enjoyed archiving arcade flyers for eight years now. The proceeds from this flyer sale will allow me to purchase flyers I need for the Archive, many of which can be very expen$ive.
There are over 18,000 video game, pinball and arcade flyers for sale. Flyers are available on a first come - first serve basis. If you have any questions email me using the contact link above.
Flyer Categories and Bulk Discounts

Just about all of these flyers are from overseas that were expensive to purchase for TAFA which explains their higher sticker price.

Flyer List Details
Size
- A4 format measures 8.26 x 11.69 inches, narrower and taller than Letter format (8.5 x 11 inches) These flyers are usually from Europe and Asia and are assigned a country code to indicate the language of the text on the flyer (DE = Germany, ES = Spain, NL = The Netherlands, EU = Western Europe, etc.)
- SM indicates the flyer is smaller than Letter format
- XL indicates the flyer is larger than Letter format
Alternate Flyers
A numerical value in parenthesis after a flyer title indicates it is an alternate flyer. Let's use Pac-Man as an example. Most people know what the common Pac-Man flyer looks like. The alternate Pac-Man flyer is designated on the flyer list as Pac-Man (2). If you want to know what an alternate flyer looks like from the list, please email me and I will provide a link.
Condition
All flyers are 100% original and in very good condition or better. Some flyers will come from sealed NOS packs. I eliminated all flyers with serious damage, which includes tears, rips, stains, creases, water spots and major surface wear. You will find flyers with the following:
- Punch Holes - We all know what they are. I eliminated most flyers with punch holes with the exception of a few flyer titles. Are they worth buying? You decide. :)
- Folds - Some video game flyers have a single, random fold that appear near the top or bottom edge of the flyer. They are more common on A4 format flyers due to the previous owners fitting them in protective sleeves designed for Letter format flyers.
- Tri-Folds - Flyers were designed to be tri-folded and mailed to arcade operators by game manufacturers. It is important to note, that I did not report tri-folds for the video game flyers and arcade flyers for this very reason. In my opinion as a flyer collector, tri-folds are natural markings for flyers. Tri-folds on pinball flyers are reported because they were the first to be inventoried and I had no idea how time consuming the task was going to be.
Payment
- Paypal (preferred) - flyers ship upon receipt
- money orders - flyers ship upon receipt
- personal checks - flyers ship after the check clears
Shipping
For shipping flyers worldwide I use USPS Priority Mail flat rate. I will only use the flat rate box if your flyer order exceeds the capacity of the flat rate envelope - or if you request the flat rate box. While flat rate is more expensive it is very reliable and allows me to insulate your order either with cardboard or bubble wrap without having to worry about weight limiations. Delivery Confirmation is included for free on all domestic shipments. International shipments are trackable when the flat rate box is used.
*** Please note! USPS shipping rates will increase on May 12th. ***
Priority Mail USA
- $4.60 Priority Mail Flat Rate envelope

Priority Mail International
- $9 Priority Mail Flat Rate envelope (Canada and Mexico only, 4 lbs. weight limit)
