If somebody sees an Area 51 or Area 51 Site 4 dedicated cab (or some other shooter, see my sig), give me a call! Not sure if I can make it or not.

An Area 51 was just posted on MPLS area Craigslist

I highly doubt those pins will really be in the auction. I remember them doing something like this the last time I went to the auction. They list all this great stuff, then magically, it wasn't at the auction and they state the game had last minute issues when asked about it.

SO true That's Just a blanket CL add they run If all those games and pins are actually there I'll crap my pants. I really am thinking this is just a over stock and parts auction. If you hunt around you'll notice that the MOMA auction is actually in OCT and is going to be done by Grafe auctions. like they have been before SA did it last year. I like grafe way more they don't have the shady record that SA does. I'm going for sure but can't say I'll be bidding on much.

Mackie what did you do with that cheap shooter cab you picked up off eBay? Did that turn out to be worth anything?

??? which cheap shooter cab ??? Don't have any shooter now.

 

[mnrocketry]

Well, I'm planning to be there tomorrow morning to check it out.

I don't need anything, don't have room for anything, but you never know...

Plus, the auction is only 3 miles from my house.

Just got back from the auction. Not as much quantity, but much better quality titles than I had seen before. Prices on the pins were insane. Most were buy backs. Addams Family was in pieces and missing the DMD. Some highlights for me were seeing a Killer Instinct and dedicated War Gods...don't see many of those. They had a broken Tron and dedicated Mortal Kombat too, don't know what any of those went for. They also had a trashed Star Wars and non-working Tempest cocktail. Here are some pics I took.

Here are some more pics...

 

[dc2010]

lots of classics!

we never get that many classics in mesquite


did that addams family sell?

 

[Les Manley]

It sold, but it was a definate buy back. It went for $2,700 before 15% premium and it was missing a DMD, flippers, plunger and more. I think they basically have that Addams so they can bring it to each show and say in their promotions, "We have an Addams!"

 

[RedPenny]

I picked up a Galaxian cab for $25, it's been painted green around the side art, the monitor works, but the PCB is in real bad shape, probably not fixable-bad-shape type. Still, for $25 I'm happy.

The sad thing is, a Sea Wolf in great shape couldn't even get a $25 bid, I choked before they passed on it; day dreaming or something. Sometimes I just don't think right.

How much did x-men and spiderman go for anyone know?

Tempest Cocktail not working went for $400
Centipede not working cocktail $100
Broken Tron $350 and it was broken in many places

Two original white broken Galaxian cabs went for $125 I believe, my green one, $25 heh

Broken Asteroids were going for $75 to $125 too

 

[Magog]
