How were the prices, I left after the 100.00 space invaders deluxe and 400?Tapper It looked like there were gonna be some bargains, just nothing I was interested in.
 
I thought the prices were ok. The SI was a dealer I assume and they shill won it and it was put back up for auction. Not sure if a real person won or not at the end. kinda weird they can do that. I would be bidding on stuff and noone would be against me and they would call someones name over the speaker to see if it was ok to sell it for that price.. if the owner would bid I just stopped bidding all together on the item
 
Not as much interesting stuff vs. the last auction I was at there. The going prices seemed "a little" lower comparatively... but I didn't really see any steals aside from the Millipede for 100. (which then resold). I left after the pinballs.
 
Freddy
Star Trek
Terminator
2 X Big Hurt
Twister
Black Knight 2000 (one I now want!) Sold for 1050
Some williams poker pinball
Simpsons Data East
White Water

Umm, few more. I am suprised I came up with that list by memory..
 
There was also a Monopoly, Volcano, and a Blast Off machine (which I bid on before remembering that I don't have a place to put it). I believe the poker-themed machine was "Riverboat Gambler".

That sounds super lame... What's the point of an auction if you are just going to shill bid? defeats the purpose
 
Shill bids or not, if I find some gem at an auction its up to me to determine what I value it at. I have gotten alot of good games from SA in the last 10 years.

I also passed on alot cause I thought these games would always be there.. stupid me. Look at the selection we have been getting. I would love to see the games we even had 5 yrs ago to bid on.
