Andrew came to speak to my Investigating Careers students about how to be an entrepreneur. Andrew conveyed his experiences building his business in a way that was inspiring and thought provoking for students. He encouraged students to follow their passions while giving them a realistic idea of the challenges ahead of them. Students were engaged and eager to ask questions. I believe each student left with a deeper understanding of self-employment and real world strategies they can use to help them achieve their entrepreneurial goals. Thank you PPA!

Andrew took the time to speak with my Entrepreneur Students about how to be an entrepreneur. Andrew provided a wealth of information to the class on how he was able to build his business! He provided a foundation to the students on how to start their own company and encouraged them that their interests and hobbies could be turned into a successful career! Students were very interested to hear what he had to say and asked several questions about what his business does and where he expects to grow in the future. Students were left with some key knowledge points on how to be a successful business owner and definitely got some sound advice on where to begin and how to grow as an entrepreneur! Thank you PPA!

Thank you Andrew for finding us the perfect Golden Tee for our family! After a year of trying to find the game ourselves, we turned to Andrew and he didn’t disappoint. He had great communication during the entire process while trying to find the specific model, which was hard to find! Thanks again!

I hired PPA to ship 2 pinball machines. They crated them up and shipped them out. PPA took all the stress and worry out of delivering my valuable pinball machines across the country to New Jersey. Both machines arrived in perfect condition, and the delivery was completed at a reasonable price. I would definitely use PPA again. Thanks, Andrew!

Working with Andrew was a great experience, especially for someone like me that had little knowledge about pinball. He provided me with many options that fit into what I was looking for and anytime I reached out or had questions he was always very responsive. I ended up buying 2 machines from him and they look great, play great and my family and friends sure have been enjoying them. He is one of the easiest people to work with from start to finish in my experience, he even was willing to deliver and help me set up both machines. Top notch guy and when I decide to add to the collection he will definitely be my first call.

I purchased my Big Buck Hunter World cabinet from Andrew via Craigslist and had a great experience. Communication through text was convenient and timely. The pictures and description of the machine he provided were accurate. He was very accommodating when scheduling a pickup time. He let me test the machine, answered any questions I had and even answered follow-up questions I had days later. The game itself plays great. The guns are calibrated perfectly and I was very surprised how clean the inside of the cabinet was. The monitor looks great. It even came with the original manual. He helped me load it into my truck and made payment convenient by accepting Venmo. I would definitely buy from Andrew again.

We have purchased 5 pinball machines from Andrew for an Arcade we opened, Vision Arcade and Skateboard Shop. He has been very helpful and items are as described. We will be buying more for our arcade in the near future. We recommend Andrew for your pinball machine needs!

From the time I saw the machine online to the time I played my first game, Andrew was available, accommodating, and professional. He took great care in making the experience of buying a pinball machine as easy and painless as it can be, I’m happy to recommend Andrew to anyone looking to buy an arcade machine. Very professional and courteous.

I was looking for a pinball machine on Facebook Marketplace and ran across a listing that Andrew had posted. I sent him a message and he called me within the hour. I didn’t end up buying the pinball machine that day, but he stayed in touch as he acquired stuff. One month later we had a beautiful refurbished pinball machine and got our daughters a Pac-Man table machine. Andrew was awesome, we had a great experience buying from him. He’s a straight up honest dude, not trying to shove a sale through. Hope to add to our games soon with him!!!

Andrew was able to locate a machine that I’d been trying to find for years. Before pickup, the machine was shopped, cleaned and inspected so when it arrived at our home it was literally a “plug and play” experience. If we ever decide to expand our game room, we’ll definitely be giving Andrew a call.

I’ve worked with Andrew a couple of times and both have been great experiences. Prompt, customer focused and does what he says. I would highly recommend working with him!

I have enjoyed the Williams Space Shuttle pinball machine that I bought on Facebook from Andrew. Everything worked as advertised, the pin had been shopped, cleaned and was competitively priced. He is a breeze to work with, communication was stellar, extremely punctual, which meant a lot with this transaction as I drove 3.5 hours each way to pick it up. 5 stars all around.

Andrew is a class act. He found me a very hard pinball machine to find. Very smooth transaction I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pinball machine or arcade game.

I have purchased multiple arcade systems from Andrew. My experiences with Andrew are that he’s very professional, responsive, and knowledgeable of his product. If there’s a special arcade “wish list” item, Andrew is your go-to person to find that item. I would very much recommend him for your home arcade needs.

I was in the market for a pinball machine and came across Andrew’s site and was so impressed by the inventory and quality of the pinball machines. Very fairly priced. Andrew was great from the moment of getting the pinball machine into my car to actually helping me troubleshoot an issue that we ran into after we had movers that didn’t take great care of it. He went above and beyond! Exceptional service.

We had a great experience buying a 1979 Pinball from Andrew. He was very responsive to our texts and messages. For an additional cost he delivered it and set it up for us. We would highly recommend him for arcade machines.

I purchased an arcade style Golden Tee from Andrew & Premier Pinball & Amusement in December 2025. This is for use within our VRBo rental. I found Andrew to be fair priced, reliable, and trustworthy. I would certainly use him again if needed.

Big Buck Hunter has been a huge success at our short term rental! Many guests have commented on how it’s been such a great amenity, especially in the winter! Andrew and his team were great to work with, very fast and efficient and the communication was great! Our family even likes to sneak in a game or two when we are on site, caring for the property!
