It hasn't happened in a number of years, but This coming weekend the KCMO Midwest arcade community have been blessed with 2 auctions, one on Saturday, one on Sunday.

Saturday, May 1st, 2010 - the newcomer:

Auction Date: Saturday, May 1, 2010
Auction Time: 10:00 am Central Time
Auction Preview: 8:00 am Central Time Auction Day
Location: Palmentere Coin Operated Games, Inc.
Address: 131 South Belmont Boulevard Kansas City, Missouri 64123


Palmentere are a local company who have been dominating the market on arcade games in the kcmo area, and it's hard to find anything decent & cheap without them going out & gobbling it up, only to refurbish it & charge an arm & a leg. Quite the impressive catalog (500+ estimating), I don't know if they just needed room or what, but they hired an auctioneer to help them "clean house". Expect a lot of BIG sit down rides, newer games + pinball, rides and redemption. Lots of pool tables on their side waiting to be taken home with someone.


The second auction: Our lovable standby:

United Amusement Auction, Sunday May 2, 2010

13402 South 71 Highway

Grandview, Missouri (map)

Opens at 11:00 a.m., auction starts promptly at 1:00 p.m.


These are the guys that have been around since I started coming to auctions. They hold about 5-6 a year, but have cut back because of health reasons. Still good deals to be had there.

I'm making an effort to take photos, especially since it's not United's auction (both Fmonk & I got yelled at for photographing the games.. go figure)

I hope to see everyone there - including me since my birthday is Friday :D and the auction is at 10am May 1 :eek: :cool: :004_ssleepy:.
 
Aw hell.... I may be able to come to the first one, but the UA auction is probably out, I am potentially getting together with family. Hmmm.....

Let's see, I have no money (as usual) and no room (again, as usual). Sounds like the perfect time to pick up something! :D
 
I love running down to those, but I will be in beautiful Cancun, away from the hobby and probably for good meausre too, 2 auctions mean at least two new games, have fun fellas..........
 
My company buys games from them at a discount im going to call my KC store soon to see if they can pre-buy. If you really want something shoot me a pm and ill see what I can do. No guarantees though.
 
Aw jeeze, I may not be making it to either of them, I feel like crap. I've had a sore throat all week, and it's finally catching up to me :(
 
So hit me with the bad news.... How many good deals did I miss due to illness :(
