Anyone know the auction results from Iowa on Saturday?

Trying to find the auction prices from the auction in Iowa this past weekend. Are the posted anywhere online or anyone attend that knows how the pricing was?
 
I am curious as well. The pictures on their fb page looked like there was a lot of stuff to bid on. Looks like a large crowd too.
 
Yep! It was over 400 pieces and a decent variety, including some classics, such as DK, DK Jr, Popeye, Mario Bros, Asteroids, Asteroids Deluxe, Pac-Man, Ms Pac-Man, Galaga, Galaxian, Pac-Land, Outrun, Turbo Outrun, Defender, Robotron, Centipede, Dig Dug, Moon Patrol, Crystal Castles, and more I'm not remembering.. Prices were on the high side for the most part.

$1050 for a Moon Patrol? That's a new record! I would have loved the Operation Wolf for $25 though! I've been looking for one at a decent price. Everything else seemed pretty meh, a lot of high prices for mediocre stuff.
 
The Moon Patrol was very nice. I believe there was a cig burn on the CPO but otherwise it was in great shape.
 
$3,450 for a Jurassic Park pin? $3,700 for a Frankenstein?! Time to sell 'em if you got 'em...or hold for the market to keep surging forward.
 
Comet went for $750. dammit, that was totally worth it. shoulda stayed....
That was offered to me before the auction for $1350 which seemed way too high for something that needed shopped and freshened up.

The Mach 3 Cockpit went for $1. If a person had a way to haul it that would have been an awesome raspberry Pi with a new LED TV project.

The street fighter II cabs seem high to me, but the vampire savior was a good deal at $200
 
I bid up the Dig Dug cabaret, but it had some definite condition issues, such as wrong AR, wires soldered to the game board, wrong joystick, cabinet wear and tear, poor paint job on front, etc.

$700 for a DK with the front painted black....
Oh, it was worse than that. The front was plywood. There were some truly interesting games there, along with some gems. The AD was a blast to play, as was the PPII (I just wish the High gear worked).

The Star Wars pin was great to play, even with the failing matrix.

Would be interesting to compare the online CO auction. Is it just Iowans who overspend on this stuff?

I don't think craigslist in Iowa spends as freely as happens at the auction?
weird dynamic.
