Ontario,CA - Arcade Auction Today!

Didn't even know about it. Are you serious about that price on the Stril? Damn!


The people who organized the advertising really dropped the ball. Bad for them but good for the buyers. When I got there in the morning there were about 3 people previewing the games in a huge wherehouse. When the auction started there were about 35-40 people and most of them weren't even bidding. They even had a tech guy who got all the games working before the auction. There were about 4 or 5 Star Wars Trilogy games and all went for cheap prices.
 
Just curious why no one has talked about this: http://www.michaelangeloauctions.com/auction_6-27-2009.htm

I went today and almost every single game was in good condition. No shill bidding and everything went fairly cheap. Picked up a Hydro Thunder for $350. Fantastic deals on all the games... There was a nice Star Wars Trilogy that also went for $350 that looked almost brand new.

i wanted to go, but it was going to be too hot plus I was sick. I wanted to get the f355 challenge 2 seater. did you notice what it went for?

I heard it was a bunch of namco route pulls.

Not sure what it went for but all the racing games were working and went cheap. At the end of the day there was a 2 player Daytona that nobody bid on that the auctioneer was asking $200 for.

congrats on the hydro thunder :) do you know what the milli/centi/missle command went for? any other classics for sale or just newer games? chris

I went to lunch when they auctioned the mili/centi. There was a Namco Ms Pac/Galaga and a Ms Pac but that was about it. Everything else was newer.
 
D'Oh...

I read this whole thread before realizing Ontario, CA is California ... not CANADA !

I live in Ontario ( ...Canada ) and would have been quite upset
to miss a Daytona Twin for $200...

But since the auction was actually 3000 miles away,
I don't feel so bad now !

Ted, you should have tipped everyone off! I think there is an unwritten rule around here somewhere that if there is an auction that you hear about, let the rest of the guys know.

Agreed, you should have tipped everyone off so we could all bid against each other. That would be the BEST! :D
