RetroJames:
Anyone go?
etoasty:
The one at Lakewood? Went to the last 4 but forgot about this one until after i'd made other plans i couldn't get out of, so i was stuck in macon all day.  :-[

Were you there 2 auctions back when the framing for one of those big loading doors broke loose and fell like 20ft. to the ground? 2 steps forward and i would've gotten nailed!
Patent Doc:
I went

It sucked.   About 1/3 the inventory of the past 4 (and I was there the time the door broke).  Most of the games were in horrible condition.  If you've been to any of the previous ones, then this description will let you know what it was like.  When you walked in, nothing on the right side of the building.  The usual alotment of slot machines lined the front wall with some kiddy rides, a cruisin usa and some freezers.  The middle had the arcade games. lined back to back with about 20% of one side missing.  Then there was about 20-30 pinballs.   We had the typical 6 multicades which went for $1500 or so, 4 cabarets, 3 Ms. Pac, 2 Galaga, 1 Galaxian, 2 Pac, all in fair condition. 2 trons that weren't working.  2 centipedes.  A frogger that should just be left by the curb because that's where it's been for the last 15 years (tons of water damage, etc). No DK, DK JR. , No tempest, space invaders, asteroids, street fighter.  Highlight were the 2 MK's and 2 MK III .  2 cocktails that worked, but really needed to be cleaned up.  The sad part was all the newbies that caught the 99x ad.  None of them had a clue and were bidding on stuff they hadn't even tried out, examined, etc. I left early in the video bidding, just not worth my time.
RetroJames:
Curious,

did anyone see what the Defender and 2 Pole Position 2's went for?  No idea if they worked and the Defneder was a piss poor renovation, just curious.
neuromancer:
Who does the auctions in Atlanta?

I've been wanting to go to one just to see what they're like, but things have never worked out.
