KC Superauction - anybody else go?

I wish I had kept better track of the cabs and prices.  There were probably 60-75 full size cabs, 2 cabarets, 4 complete/nonfunctional space invaders cocktails, 3 pinballs, 2 driving cabs, one light gun game, and a bunch of redemption games.  Also severalteen slots.

Not the biggest auction ever; the crowd was small and things went cheap.
The cabarets and the first few games went for >$400.   By the time they got to the third row, everything was going for less than $100.  The space invaders tables went for $65, $55, and $45x2.

I got a good condition pacman cab with a working taito golf game in it for $35.  I'll have to get a poorly applied coat of black spray paint off, but it'll make a fun project.  I just couldn't stand to not get it for what I'd pay for an empty cab.

There was a Playboy pinball that went for $650, and the gun game went for >$500 too, otherwise it was a bargain extravaganza.

Fun way to waste a Saturday morning.

I hope the low prices and turn-out don't keep them from coming back to KC.

Anybody else go?  I was the overweight nerd.  Heh.

I just wish the same kind of bargains would happen at the San Jose, CA auctions.  Damn Sillicon Valley nerds for driving up our prices out here!

Pipercub:

Sheesh, that is a fraction of what they go for out here in the D.C. area at the Baltimore auction.
