A lot of this equipment is geared towards operators, note the number of driving and shooting games, which can still earn okay. I'd guess that those stacker games would do very well in a good location.

They have posted the final list for today's auction. They have some pretty cool old games, and 17 pins. Saw a complete Omega Race in there. You don't have to be there, you can listen and bid online.

I probably won't be bidding as my game room is full now.

The auctions are so long that you could go to the preview, go home and then bid on whatever. Or else have someone you trust that's going to auction look at the equipment for you. These really aren't collectors auctions, the days of auctions loaded with classic games are over in California and probably most other places. They are now mostly geared towards operators because there's money to be made there. There is no money to be made in $25 Omega Races....

...by the way did anyone else hear that they caught a suspected serial killer last night not far from today's auction....
I couldn't see the pics, but a Slither was at this auction?
Damn westcoast is inundated w/ them - no wonder I can't find one.

That slither looked good but i am sure it was like 8 pm before they got to it and it went for cheap. it was not working.

There were actually a lot fewer games this time than the last few auctions, so it didn't take as long to get through everything, so more people hung around, so there were fewer bargains. The Slither actually went for $125, in nice cosmetic shape but not working

heh... not in it's current state. Looks like someone used it as a buoy before it got there.
A little elbow grease, (or my entire elbow), and it'll be good as new.Juan
good score Juan! I was going to bid on the Omega Race and the Slither but I could not get the online bid feature to work on my home PC.

I was all set to bid $50 but then I realized I have no space and finding working boards is an issue. I am glad someone got it who will restore it rather than chop it up for parts cash.
