Went to the Akron Pinball/Videogame/Gameroom show today. The only decent deal I saw was an Op Thunderbolt CP complete w/ two working guns. On top of that, if you weren't a big pin guy it was a waste of money. Can you really call it a video game show if there are only 3 video games there (not counting the two mame machines this guy was trying to hock). There were some nice Ms PacMan CP's (cocktail) for about $10 each.
I pretty much threw away my $12. Oh well. It was just going to a new copy of Rex Kwan Doe (on betamax) anyway...
*edit* I also got to check out some of the "Nice Carvings" offering @ the Gameroom Magazine booth. Definitely everything that's advertised here and better. Kudos.

In case anyone in the Des Moines area is interested the auction is April 19th and has moved to a new location.

That show is NOTHING like what you are reading!,...steer clear of those guys!,..they are shady CON-MEN..that shill bid everything!...ive recognized the phone number and said "OH OH"..they are located in long island in farmingdale, and its is a total wate of time,..what they do is bring thier junk conversions and whatnot around to whatever other locations and set up shop. (THINK -TRAVELING GYPSIE/CARNIVAL) ...its all the same ---Crapola- from thier L.I. place and they say its another warehouse they have (---smurf-poop---).. not to be trusted!...thier gumbah buddies are just looking for suckers and first time buyers!...if they were to get the slightest hint that you dont know what youre doing,..they will mark you like a target and jack up your bids so you will be paying through the nose!,...theres about eight to 12 guys all working together. probably mobbed up. (at least they look the part).. if you go,...check out the action from a distance, and youll spot all the shillers,..then youll thank me later.

*Note: I live in the general Kingsport area, so I will be going, buying or not, depending on my financials and what's available.
I'm doing better, I made it through the last one with no successful bids. A sign of recovery, perhaps. Doubt it.
With the lead time now available, Will take requests, do a pre-auction tour, and will bid for you if there are backup funds available quickly (like paypal or something) They have a 10% fee, $10 minimum. Sometimes you can end up with some 'nobody wants this' bargains, like my converted Asteroids Deluxe (sorry about that) and merit-trivia converted cocktail Galaxian (real sorry about that) that both had working monitors for $20 apiece, including fees..
I've spent less obtaining starters.. just make sure the ops are okay with you picking up their trash.. ;D

At the August Superauctions.com aucion in Mesquite (Dallas), TX they said there was an outside chance of having another auction in October. Keep an eye on their website just in case. They were going to "play it by ear"
