Imagine in the day after the arcade collapse, and you had all these giant heavy-ass cabinets nobody wanted. When the resale value is less than the cost of shipping them, it makes selling them difficult if not impossible. If you were a pure business man without the nostalgia and love for the game, it's a hell of a lot cheaper to just throw that old Computer Space in the dumpster than it is to store it waiting for a buyer who can pick it up.
Its the love of the games that keeps them alive now, not economics.

I can kind of understand why so many beautiful classic arcade cabinets were smashed and trashed.
