oldsage:
Oh, man! And thinking i was at the cinema last night! This is only about 3-1/2 hours away!!! Oh well... I probably wouldn't have bought anything even if i would have came...
fredster:
I sold a 9 in 1, a MsPac Caberet, and a Raiden.
I bought an arkanoid cocktail, a Moon Cresta cocktail, 3 golden tees (2 '99s and 1 2K), some vs slolam game ($10, it worked), a broken touchdown fever, a broken Space Duel, and an Assault.
I got 5 used monitors, one was kinda new.

Willing to share any price details?
fredster:
Sure,
There were hundreds of items. I didn't watch every item go. I'd be happy to answer specific questions, but the auction lasted 12 hours and had 2 lines running up and down isles.
I can give some general prices and observations. My Golden tees were in the $300-$350 range. Ms Pacs were in the $350-600 range, etc.
I might note that there were two vendors setup there. One was selling a ULTRACADE looking "time machine" that was the baddest Mame machine I had ever seen with a franken panel from hell. It was over 4 1/2 long, and the cab was like a show case cab. I didn't stop to ask the price, but we were talking $4000 plus one guy told me.
Betson Imperial was there, threatening to call Namco over all of the 4 in 1's. Sour grapes there. He was selling monitors and parts. I hope they don't invite him back.
I saw about 2/3 of the auction go. Nothing really nice. The classics were skimpy. No Asteroids, only 2 stargates in any kind of condition. One dig dug with bad sprites, a qbert that wasn't even right. No Pacmen, only a couple of new ms pacs.
I did see something interesting. It said "ultracade" on the CP but it was some kind of old BAD DUDES cab that was running Daphne or some such laser disk emulator on it. It had space ace and Dragon's lair on it. It went for $350, if indeed it actually sold.
Pins all over the place, I don't watch those much. None were where I'd want to buy one. They went high and low, but the low ones were not working very well. They had a new one in the box, and it went for $3900, which was wierd, because I don't buy a cardboard box for $3900 myself.

Thanks. I just like to keep up with what's being bought and sold and it's fun to know what people are spending on big cardboard boxes :D
Interesting that Betson was there and threatening to call Namco
