I'm sure...just have teh first timer jitters

It's easy to understand the auctioneer.  He calls out a buy price very clearly, then mumbles and pretends(?) to speak real fast, then if a hand goes up he uncreases the buy price by $10 or whatever.  It's nothing to worry about and pretty exciting to bid on something you want, then actually get it.  Heck, after the first 2 machines you'll be able to understand how it works and be ready for the rest.  Just make sure you have a bid number before you try to bid or it won't count (if you win, that is).

I spoke with nostrebor a bit while we waited at the checkout line.  I swear if I had a bigger truck I would have cleaned house on those dead machines.  I didn't know ikari went for a mere $5, that's insane.  I wanted to just pull the CP off and toss the machine since I didn't have room to haul it, but by this point the games were flying so fast I couldn't hardly think if I wanted to spend money on 'em or not.  wish I would have bought that dead tron for $30 as well (full control panel looked great).

Unix4hire,

Hey! It's good to put a face with a name. Did I see you helping clean up the exploded cab in the parking lot? We were trying not to laugh, until we saw the owner laughing. For those who weren't there, a guy lost a machine out of his truck, over a closed tailgate. It did a head-first gainer into the pavement, and simply disintegrated. The rumor was that it was one of the dead $5 games, but it still hurt to watch!

Did your Moon Patrol light up? It actually was nicer than the one I bought, and $20 cheaper! I would call it a great score!

I seem to be missing a bit of wire harness between my power board and the heatsink/transformer. Would you be interested in shooting a pic of yours and e-mailing to me? Just PM me if you can.

I picked up a Kung-fu Lady Pachislo at this auction for $60. Fully operational and looks great!

I was soooo jealous that you got the Kangaroo machine, Nostrebor, it was right after I bought the Pachislo, so my auction fever had passed.  ;)
