It's going to take a big snowstorm for me to miss this, so I should still be there...but if I wake up Saturday morning and it's a blizzard then obviously I'll reconsider...play it by ear.

Big snowstorm, right before Christmas- This is the perfect time to go, you get rid of the casual guy who pulls up in his Escalade to find a unique gift for his kids. Less people should equal more deals, especially on the fix-it-up-er's. For the ride home you just have to bring a tarp (or 2) :)

Got the auction about 45 mins prior to start time, had a blast. The selection wasn't amazing (a lot of hodgepodge dynamo cabinets, bad conversions and beat up stuff) but a few gems here and there including an excellent condition Thunder Blade mini-upright (which I won!), a great condition Mortal Kombat 2, neo geo 4 slot and some others. A so-so time crisis 2 cabinet was the one I really wanted to get but unfortunately I just don't have the space for a cab that big.

Most cabs went from between $150-300, nothing was too crazy expensive except for a new-ish multicade cab. The pins went for crazy expensive prices ($1500-3400). There were also pool tables, slots and redemption machines.

Some pics below - did anyone else make the trip?

I was not able with the storm and an 11 year old nephew.  Although we did spend the day playing games on the PS1 emulator.  There didn't happen to be a space zap or hard driving there by chance was there?  Hope I can make the next one (although I am moving to TN sometime next year), the prices definitely sound like they were cheaper than last year.  I plan on going to the Chicagoland show in April though for sure.
