Yep that was me...
Yeah that was me that was bidding on several of the Pac cocktails. I think the cocktail line went Multicade 1, Multicade 2, Galaga, Ms. Pac-Man, Ms Pac / Galaga 20 Year Reunion (that one went for like $1100 or so), Pac Cocktail converted to Ms. Pac, Dynamo cab(can't remember what game was in it),Black Tiger, Stern Cocktail (can't remember what game), another Pac Cocktail converted to Ms. Pac, and another cocktail that I can't remember the name. The last Pac cocktail one was an 8 out of 10 in my book. The control panel art, and coin door were immaculate. Congrats RLEVIN if you picked up those. I had a price in my head that I just wasn't going to go over, and I stuck to it. I remember the first Pac cocktail that I bid on...I think I bid $300, and then someone bid $325. The auctioneer looked at me and said "$350...$350...$350...go ahead..it's only money!". I just smiled, shook my head no, and the cocktail sold. That first Pac cocktail that I bid on didn't even power up initially. The owner of it came over and stuck a fuse in it about five minutes before the auctioneers came around, and then it came to life. It must have been one of the fuses that powers the board, because the monitor tube glowed orange when I plugged it in earlier to test. I think that second Ms. Pac conversion sold for either $450 or $475, I can't remember.
Anyone know what the jukeboxes go for typically? What about a Dynamo Air Hockey table? There was a blue one, and two yellow ones. They looked to be in great shape.
I saw a Playboy pin there as well. It wasn't powered up, but it looked nice. I wonder what that went for?
This was my first auction and I had a blast. I didn't stay after the classic line was auctioned off, but I met several KLOV folks, and they were awesome to hang out with. It was cool talking to some of you guys that have actually been to several of these, and letting me know what to expect. Even though I didn't walk away with any games, I still had a great time. I'm definitely going back to the next Kingsport auction, November 7th. Maybe next time I'll walk away with a game.
You were probably bidding against Arcticroad as he bid on at least 2 different Pac Cocktails.
