I went, alot of the video games were in rough shape. 2 Pac-man's, one had a wanky joystick and wierd sound, the other was in a Ms Pac cabaret, and the screen was offsize (you couldn't read the score). A Mr Do that kept resetting, a Turbo that worked part of the time (went for 5 bucks, as did a working sitdown one!), 3 Multicades that went for about 700-900 each, a 1941 that had sideways rolling video, a mini Mr Do that had screwed up video and a mini Time Pilot with the side laminate peeling off. Some pinballs, most of the newer ones went betwenn 1000-2500, depending on how recent and their condition. I didn't buy anything, as I'm not in the market (there weren't any Tron's there ;D )

Thanks, A buddy of mine went. We planned on going together. He wasn't in the market for a game but if they were cheap he'd pick something up. He said there was a decent Road Blasters, but there were a lot of people from the pinball expo that probably wouldn't be at an auction. He stayed for the first few items and said people were way over bidding, he didn't want to wait around for hours on a Friday night just to see the game he wanted go for twice what it was really worth.
I was hoping for an Area 51 or some other shooting game. He said there were a couple, but they were pretty beat up.

I'll be there as well - I live about 10 minutes away in Fairview Heights, IL. I hope they have better stuff than they had at the last one, although the showcase cabinets were going pretty cheap. I'm not really looking for anything in particular other than maybe a Megatouch but if something goes cheap I might pounce on it (depending on the game of course).

So did you manage to pick anything up? There were some pretty good deals to be had I think. I picked up a itouch5 countertop for $230. There were some good deals to be had on pinball machines imo. I was wondering if you went, how much the driving cabs went for?

I ended up not being able to make it up to the auction. I haven't heard anything from it either, which could be a good thing, or a bad thing!
