I go to a lot of yard sales. I have been going to yard sales regularly for about 12-13 years and this summer has been very interesting needless to say. Between yard sales and thrifts I have seen arcade games on 3 different occasions. I honestly think in my 12-13 years of going to sales I have not seen any before this summer. I don't know whats going on, but its kind of weird. I didn't buy any of this BTW, but I have documented it.
Ok so my first encounter with a game was at a thrift store, it was this Star explorer pinball machine from the late 70's. This was at a SA and the asking price was $49.99. I have no idea of the condition of this. I did some research and found out that this is a home use machine produced by radio shack in the late 70's.

My next encounter, only a week later I do believe, was a Sinbad pinball machine found at a church rummage sale. The asking price was originally $500 but I think it ended up selling for around $200. It was not sold when I first walked in but was gone by the time I left the sale. I was able to hear the conversation when it was being sold. This was marked as needing work.


Finally we have my most recent find, now we have games in a garage! Apologies if I have posted a picture of a garage belonging to someone on here. Here we have what appears to be 2 street fighter 4 machines I do believe and an Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. The owner of the games was not around when I visited the sale but I asked another person there. The second street fighter was a multi-game of some sort as I was told it had 12 games on it and that one was for sale, but I did not get an asking price. I was also told that the player 2 controls needed some work.
