Figured I'd chime in, I only grabbed one game, Motocross Go! ..due to space...(cause its frickin huge) but it has turned out to be a LOT of fun. (playing it, not moving it....that was awful.) Tonight, its Killians and Motocross Go! in the garage!

You wanted prices. Heres a few:
1. Galaga Cabaret 300
2. Dedicated Ms. Pac/Galaga reuninon 1200
3. Spy Hunter 275
4. MC/Centipeded/Millipede 275
5. Thunderblade 100
6. Asteroids 225
7. Space Invaders/Qix 375
8. DK Jr. 250
9. Ferrari 355 Challenge twin sitdown 400
10. Disc of Tron 475
11. Asteroids deluxe (playing blind with extra board) 150
12. Data East Simpsons pinball w/field touched up 1000
13. Lord of the Rings 2900
14. No Good Gophers 1450
15. Fun House (ragged out to hell and back but playing well) 1200
16. Data East Star Wars w. display problems and resetting I think 1275
17. Road Show 1450
18. Whitewater (really nice, but had a few issues) 1800
19. My UN sqraudran in an HS-1 that had 225 in restoration 75
20. My Sharpshooter gun game 120
21. My Carrier Airwing in an HS-5 75

3 machines with really nice looking monitors. After auction fees, I cleared 208 on 3 games not counting the 55 in gas. For future reference, never sale machines in the spring as that's when ops are dumping junk games to clear out space in warehouses. Most ops buy back in the fall. Way too many pieces there to sale, but awesome if you wanted to buy. Christmas is also pretty good time to sale if the pieces are desirable.

As for a general overview, it was a pretty good time to pick up vids but very few pins so most brought a premium. And I think many ops were just buying their stuff back, but I could be wrong.
 
I paid an astounding thirty five dollars! Blackmatrix, I had no idea you were there! and Spacebaby, I am assuming your son was the young kid snatching up all the freebies lol

As for this game, I figured I'd play it a while, then sell it, but I am falling in love with this game! I opened the back panel to clean all the dust out of the fans, and discovered an air compressor! It had been unplugged, I assumed due to the noise it created, so I plugged it in, fired the game up, and hopped on the bike for a ride to discover it is fully pneumatic! The bike is pretty much a motion ride, this has to be one of the coolest games I've come across in quite some time. Im pretty sure motley crue does a couple of the songs in the game as well, but cant find anything to confirm this suspicion...anyone ever encountered one of these/owned one? Seems to be kinda rare according to the database...

Out of that list I picked up the Spy Hunter, Thunderblade, and I traded with StrainedSky for the Disks of Tron......
 
I had been planning for 2 months to drive up for the sale, but Friday afternoon decided to pass. Now Im glad I did, as I would have been looking to pick up a nice pin and it looks Like I would have been dissapointed:(

Oh yea!!!!! The pins did suck........Actually they have sucked at the past several auctions...

We need some kind of shirt or something to be able to identify each other. I was there to for a short time as well.

I was very interested in that spy hunter, but it seemed to need a good deal of work and I just couldnt bring myself to pay that much, but, its also not on the top of my list either. Congrats on the pickups!
 
I was there as well, I picked up the Galaga cabaret and the Asteroids deluxe. This was my second time going to the Kingsport auction and I thought they were great both times. Lots of games and good deals.
