well thats ONE thing us aussies aren't so lucky in  :( . cabs seem to go for a lot here. i looked at a very sorry looking cocktail cab (japanese/aussie style) before i built on instead. he said 'not for sale', but if he did wanted something like $600-$700 (from memory). it was something converted to 1942, which didn't work properly.
so to an aussie, we'd be happy with ANY of the prices mentioned here!

paigeoliver:

Well of course you are going to have high prices from an operator. We are talking about auction prices here. I don't think you guys have auctions.

wboy:

yeah we do, but the operators (one comes to mind) run them every few months or so.... have fake bidder friends within the crowd.... or alternatively, a ridiculous high reserve price.

When MrArcade and I were at the st. louis auction saturday he bought two of the twin monitor nintendo ones for $35 each. A working Birdie King 3 one went for $45.

Note, the ever popular Midway style cocktails rarely show up dead, and command at least $100 when they do.

okay, whats the midway style of cocktail?  is that style like Kyle Lydstroms plans?  not the desk style, but the traidtional style?

paigeoliver:

Midway, specifically the design used for pac-man. 19" monitor, no legs, coin door on one side and flat control panels that extrude from the sides.
