Interested in:

1) What the Joust cocktail went for.
2) What the Hydro Thunder went for.
3) What any of the nicer multigames were selling for.
4) If there was a big dead row and how cheap were they going for.

Etc...
 
The Joust cocktail went for $600. Nicer multis went for $600-800. There was a big row of multies there that seem to take forever to get thru. The hydro thunder went for $675 or close to that. There was a decent Tempest that went for $500 and a decent astroids that went for $400. I think I picked the wrong auction to choose as the first one to go to. Im sure I will be back tho.
 
Should have stayed home. No dead row just beat to crap cabs. There was a dead Neo-Geo 2 slot that went for $80. With no monitor chassis.
Far cry from a complete working Outrun for $25 at last auction.

This one was a great one to have skipped.
 
Worst one I've ever been to. 4 rows of games and a driving game row. The prices were a slice above private seller prices - PLUS - the 15% premium and 8.25% sales tax - F that. Not a single deal in the house. Ridiculous row of Multi games.
 
Yeah it went for $450. I have a few pictures. In case anyone doesn't know I was the guy with the camera.
 
Whomever got the Midway Blasted made a little money back. The bottom of the cabinet was full of quarters when I looked in it.
 
who ever got the time crisis for $100 made some money back too. when they took it apart to load it. it was full of quarters. they probably got their money back. i only bought a gumball machine and dont know why i bought that. i guess so i didnt go home empty handed. the row of 20 multicades sucked but maybe whoever brought them wont bring so many next time since they where going for around $400-$600.
 
RB Tapper cabinet went for 40 I wasn't gboing to go hiher than thatg so I dropped out. Flinstone's Egg Machine 35 I wouldn't go higher. Custom made Kids cabinet non working with Neo Geo stuff went for 225 I think and a buddy of mine bought the cabinet from the guy who got it for 100. Working Crane went for 25. I picked up a Arkanoid 2 in a Q-bert cab I think for 180 with fees. But hoping a friend of Chanelmanics wants it as I should have bought it but never played Arkanoid 2 before. They had a NWing Recator cabinet with a NES in it. The highest thing I saw was the Colorrama redemption that went for 1700. Wish I had bought the older touchscreen it only went for 25. But I wasn't over there watching. Very small auction. I think the person who got the Time Crisis found around 50 bucks in change.
 
How much were the Mega touches going for. Mostley interested in the ones marked with 2006 Ruby addition.
 
Sweet! Sorry guys, but the band was awesome :thrasher:, the Margaritas were cold and delish :alcoholic:(my head attested to that this morning) and the BBQ was fabulous! Too bad you all wasted your time in Dallas. :poke:

Any pics of the party? Wish we could have made it, but our budget wouldn't allow it at this time...
 
With the movie camera or the SLR?
The SLR on the neck strap. Hardly used it. Nothing really worthwile to take pictures of. Took a pic of the minis, the joust cocktail, punchout and maybe one or more other machine. The first row full of Multis was a let down compared to last auction. It's a far cry from the nice classic games they had last time.
