If you got 3 games for $240, sounds like a buyers auction... where are the pics?
As far as classic games went it was a sellers auction.
I swear that people just don't know what they are bidding on. A very nice Multicade with Arcadeshop PCB, control panel, art work, etc. went for around $800. Which was fine but a 60-1 that was auctioned 3 or 4 games later went for around $1000. The probelm with it was that the cabinet had been dropped and was cracked from front to back on the left side.
Several other generic cabinet 60-1 multi's were going for $500 and up. Most all of them had some type of monitor problem whether LCD or CRT. Either the shakes, occassional roll, crooked screen, lines down one side, etc.
One of the Multicades with the yellow art work went for around $1100. The high bidder didn't know that the games were freezing up a few minutes after you started a game. That's what happens when you don't check stuff out before bidding. I think these are all computer based, definitely not 60-1's or Arcadeshop PCBs.
Some guy brought several classics that he had left notes on about what new parts he had put into them. It was obvious that was BS and it got a few laughs. A ratty DK he brought with both monitor and PCB problems went for $275. 3 or 4 games later, a fairly nice and working DK went for $350...don't understand that.
He sold a Pac-Man that looked like it had sat in water, had color issues on the monitor, a happ ultimate joystick and 2 rectangular poker style player one and two start buttons for $275. I was just shaking my head
A PP II cockpit went for $675 while a PP upright right beside it went for $100...both working and in good shape.
New 27" VGA monitors both CRT and LCD type went for $400 to $450. They were going for $275 each at last months auction.
