Chicagoland Auction December 4th Check

I ended up going. Had about 108 things on auction. Lots of play touch stuff, couple jukeboxes, 3 pins, pool tables, and dart boards. Everything was guaranteed operational and most of it was running and playing during the preview hour.
A lot of golden tees. A Turtles in time 4-player sold for $325. Had some nice full sized pool tables that looked practically new selling for $200-300 a piece. Couple of large sitdown arcades sold for $100-150 like a two player speed racer. Had a Terminator 2 sold for $150. Had a few original Virtua Fighters that went for something like $60. I ended up picking up a D&D Tower of Doom in a neo geo conversion and a Centipede/Millipede/Missile Command conversion in some gaudy conversion Golden Tee cab. All in all it was a pretty decent event.

There was supposedly an auction in Itasca yesterday according to the Craigslist post below. Did anyone go? Was there anything good. Very curious.

my wife just asked why I was crying :( its always nice to see an auction with REAL prices, not just op buy backs. figures I usually miss them

Heh.. It was my first coin op auction so I didn't know what to expect. Came back happy. Supposedly they're talking about doing it again in Spring next year. Hopefully it'll be just as good but not so sure considering more people will know about it. What was strange was there was only 109 items, but they had over 100 bidders and some people didn't get anything. Bidding was free and there was no service charge even for credit card purchases. It was to raise funds for the Illinois Coin Op Association.
