This saturday(March 2) at the indiana state fairgrounds there is a coin operated machine auction(www.usamusement.com). I picked up a cabinet there for $20 if your willing to spend a $100 you should have no problem finding something. It's also a great place to pick up parts for cheap. Expect to be there all day if you want something cheap. The crappy machines usually get auctioned last. But sometimes there will be deals early on so you need to be there all day.

Yeah, there was a Superauctions auction at the State Fairgrounds in Detroit last week.  I spent about an hour there and then went to Autorama to see the 1966 TV Batmobile  :D

Most of the cabinets were in really rough shape and I saw at least a dozen go for less than $100.  I always go to these in case there's something nice like a TRON cab.  There was an Austin Powers pinball machine, but I didn't stay long enough to see how much it sold for.
