     Scale back the simulator count to hit $50,000 — that is the real lever. Subtotal $61,850 at full mix.

     Where Budgets Blow Out

     Freight — a 40HQ container from China to the US West Coast runs $4,000–$7,000 in 2026. Customs duties — arcade machines typically fall under HTS 9504, with rates varying by country. Site adaptation — voltage conversion (110V/220V) adds $40–$90 per unit.

     How to Shave 15% Off

     On an arcade machine price list, the biggest saving is not negotiating the unit price — it is removing the trading margin and buying mixed-SKU containers. The same $50,000 buys roughly 25% more units direct from the factory.

     What You Must Not Cut

     Certifications, PCB quality, and warranty terms. Cutting these saves pennies upfront and costs thousands in downtime. The cheapest cabinet in the container is the one that breaks first.
