Last week at my storage unit the manager comes up to me and says there is a unit across from mine that has some arcade games in it and it'll be up for auction on Friday the 28th. All he said was one had Atari on it. Of course my curiosity is up so I make an entry on my iPhone to remind me to head over there on the 28th at 2:00 pm.....
Auction day arrives and I get there early and hang out in my parts storage unit. Next thing I know there are about 50 people outside waiting for the lock to be cut on the arcade unit.
Here it is.....the moment of truth.....what can be inside.............door opens.........
Pole Position
Twin cobra in a centipede style cab
Galaga.
Thats it. No boxes, furniture, junk. Just 3 cabinets.
All look pretty beat and all were in the very back corner of a 10 x 15 so it was hard to see condition or if they are complete. I decide not to bid on them.
Auction starts. $20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 150, 200, 250, 275, 300....
going once, twice, sold for $300. Poor guy.
I'm sure these will be on my local craigslist soon.
