Cow Palace

The annual trip to the Cow Palace was cool. Always good to hang with the KLOVers from NJ. Not as many interesting pieces as years past, but it still holds up. There are still deals to be found, especially the larger pieces. There was a really nice Super Glob, which I was not familiar with, but was really tempting. However, I found it impossible to get past the second level. The gameplay was fun, the first level was really easy, then the game drops into warp speed and becomes virtually unbeatable. It was in a Pac style cab and the conversion was really cherry. It had a BIN of $500, I don't know what it went for. Pic below, along with a few mangled classics.

How much did that Tapper go for?

 

[sohchx]

I felt so bad for that Burgertime cab. I thought about buying it for a full restore and put that Superstars stuff in another Jamma cab. I lost track and forgot all about it until after it sold.

Too much. Two idiots got into a bidding war over it. Believe me, no one in their right mind would have paid that much. I was stunned. Right now its sitting in my garage. On the plus side, there is color side art, assuming the black paint and Black Tiger artwork come off the top part of the sides. No water damage or swelling, so its got that going for it. If I can save it then its all worth it, right? At least that is what I keep telling myself.

Medieval Madness for $6800? With a flipper issue? I knew those machines were up there but that's just stupid. I like the game but you can a pin that is just as fun for about a quarter of that money!

Medieval Madness was $8000 at the buy it now. No one bought it for $6800, it was a buy back. There were at least 4 Hook pinballs there, a seller that I knew had his Hook at the buy it now priced at $950 and it did not sell BUT it did sell at the auction for $1250. I guess that buyer should have went to the buy it now section before the auction. There were a lot of buy backs on the pinballs and some of the arcades as well. Almost all of the ms pac mans with the new side art did not sell. That seller had a lot of games to take back with him. The moon patrol I bid on was a buy back as well from the same seller, just me and the seller bidding at the end but he would not let it go cheaper than the buy it now price he had on it earlier.

Not true! The MM SOLD for 6800. One reseller brought it, and another won it. I know this for a fact. The Addams Gold also SOLD for 5100. Again, not a buyback! Since sellers consign equipment for resale in the auction, and run legitimate businesses with tax ID's and such, the purchase price is not subject to MD state tax or the buyers premium. The gavel price was what was actually paid to obtain the item in these cases.

I really don't want to tell the stabbing story in public forum. However, I will say that none of it was AGS's fault, and that the fairgrounds really needs to take into consideration all events occuring on a specific weekend, and base their security/police presence on that. This year, the Octoberfest people were searching and electronic wanding people at the entrance to Octfest. Also, at the auction, there were armed, off-duty police officers at every entrance and in the auction at all times. I thought that was a good response to what happend last year.

Are you the one that got the Smash tv?

 

[Nick The Newbie]

I showed up to look around, but was primarily there to pick up a Silent Scope I had paid for a couple weeks beforehand. I was really impressed with the whole thing.

Yeap I saw and took a pic of the Super Blob, never seen that machine before and noticed it was a decent restoration/conversion. I also took pics of the bear mascot outfit that sold there (seemed high too but those things arent cheap). Also took a pic of Galaga that was pretty jacked up, water damage.

Nope, I was in line to get the f out by then.

Were you the guy in the paperboy shirt? I think I caught a glimpse of you at the auction. I need to make a klov friendly t shirt.

Hmm, ok I stand corrected then. I thought for sure it was the seller that bought it back. Since it was not a buy back I really don't think $6800 was a bad price for it. There were many buy backs though. I do know a lot the ms pacs with the new sideart were buy backs.

Yes I know I use to pay those fees myself. Resellers pay the gavel price + $10.00 purchase fee per item won.

Yup that was me. I met another Klov'r randomly out in the parking lot. We are both fans of the Subarus and some how Klov was brought up.
