Specifically: Dedicated Neogeo 2 or 4 slot, Mortal Kombat style cabinet...so I can use it for mame (was really looking for a conversion with street fighter button layout) and if at all possible a Jap candy cabinet. Just out of curiousity....how much does say any of these cabs usually go for at an auction?

Can anyone who has been to an auction tell me what they bought and how much they spent on it? I really want to know how much to bring. I was thinking about bringing like $400-500. Anyone?

Prices at game auctions can vary pretty greatly depending on how many people show up and how many machines are there. If it's not too crowded your $500 should give you alot of options for a nice cab.
I bought a 4 player Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cab in excellent shape, prob. 9 out of 10, only minor scratches on the sideart, 25 inch monitor, and paid $450. On the other hand I've seen people pay 8 or 9 hundred dollars for cabs in poor shape because they got into a bidding war with a couple of other people. Popular machines like Galaga, Pacman, Tempest and the like will go very high regardless of condition. The best deals, albeit not the best machines, will be towards the end of the auction. A couple of years ago here in MD I got a Mr. Do and a Super High Impact Football for $20 each and a Golden Axe for $50 near the end. All in decent shape and fully functional. Makes for along day but could pay off for you. Hope this helps a little.
