Gabesdad1981 it was nice to meet you and your friend and hang out a while. Also met spacebaby and talked with him a good bit and he was an awesome guy as well. I got the following stuff:
Galaga for $275 ( been wanting one for a while)
Nintendo VS. Unisystem with RBI in it for $230 ( looks like its in a DK Jr. cab) I got a little carried away on this one I wish I had got it for a little less.
MegaTouch Maxx Ruby edition for $110
My wife played the heck out of the Megatouch when I got home last night so I think it was a good purchase.
I also bid on the Sinistar that needed work. I think it went for around $85. Bid on the Whirlwind pinball as well.This was my first auction like this so I learned a lot. The guys mentioned above were real helpful and answered a bunch of my newbie questions.
I hate I missed some of you other guys. Hopefully I can meet some of you at the next auction.

I bought 3 new 13" monitors for $70 each and a new multi sync 25" for $275. I thought that was a hell of a deal as they went for $175 and $375 or close to that at Kingsport last month.
Picked up a pretty nice Off Road Challenge for $375, Ms. Pac for $325, and 4 other cheap games.
Actually, compared to last months Kingsport auction, the games prices were pretty high for the most part.
There was an operator there I had never seen before buying up all the cheaper cabinets. Bidder # 209 I think. He must have bought at least 20 or so 25" games.
I missed the prices on the Safecracker, Attack from Mars, and Episode One pins. Anybody catch them?

Some prices
Safecracker-2700 bucks was missing the wings and the rope light was burnt out.
Attack from Mars- pretty nice and played well..3200 bucks which was off the charts in my opinion.
Didnt catch the other one, but a brand new looking Sopranos went for 2200 bucks.. A nice playboy sold for 500 bucks, there was a Terminator that looked awesome went for 950 bucks..
On the vid side a very nice working Tron went for 625 bucks and a sweet 3 player off road went for 235 bucks, they also had a descent 2 player off road that went for 140 bucks.

If I remember correctly you needed to borrow a measuring tape to make sure the Tapper was going to fit

That 3 player Off Road was nice. I know the Sopranos pin that was listed as a floor model with 900 plays developed an error that was showing on the display before the auctioneer got to it.
And that Terminator was in nice shape. The Dr. Dude cabinet looked great but the playfield had some serious wear.

You guys got some good games-
The Vindicators looked good-
Nice price on the Dark Legacy
I saw you guys eyeing the Tapper
I should have got the Sinistar. That thing was complete and even had manuals. It complained of a RAM error and I worked with the operator a little while with it. The error message followed the RAM chip when we moved it. If someone had a 4116, I'd have bet that it would come up. Hell- the sound and speech were there. Should have left the old dude my number in case he bought it back, but he was from Tennessee.
I got the Star Trek upright. The screen was a little scrambled, but I've seen enough of them to know I can get it going simply. I thought I was going to have to gut it and scrap the cab until I found a ride (close to) home for it.
It would have been a shame too- the cabinet was pretty good and the art looked great!
I met a few of you, but wish I would have approached some more guys. It just feels funky walking up to someone and seeing if they're 'on the group'. Especially with the overall 'don't be too friendly' mentality of the auctions. Most of the operators are like that- they know which games belong to which op and after all, they're competing on bids with each other.
Most people don't mind spending more money than me on crap.
Who was the guy with the white T with red printing 'old school' and a joystick picture?
Maybe "Hello, I'm KLOV- kstillin" nametags would work better...
Oh, and I got three old-school dollar bill changers for $20. Those looked sweet in the back seat of my Oldsmobile....
Later-
Kerry

That was my friend David. He just went to check it out with me. Too bad I didnt get the chance to meet you. Hopefully next time.
