That was the first auction I have ever attended. Overall it was full of junk (in my opinion). The only cab that I thought was decent enough to work with there (which I wasn't interested in doing) was a Trog cabinet that looked like it was in pretty good condition -- it went for $225.

Hey I probably saw you there! :)
It was my first auction as well, and I admit that I was pretty lost. There were a brazillion upright racing cabinets (pole positions and speed buggys), I was hoping I could get one for dirt cheap, but no luck...I ended up just buying a set of 5 speakers for 5 dollars to toy with.
I also had an interest in the Captain America and the Avengers 4p cab, as well as the X-men 4 player that were old favorites of mine. Not many real old classics though other than some beat up coctail cabs.
The Trog was a bit misleading though, It was really in a universal four player cabinet, but it sure looked like a similiar style cabinet, the buyer sure looked happy with his find, so thats what matters. The cabinet would make an excellent project cabinet, and the PCB and controls will grab at least 150 on ebay. (Trog is the only cabinet I can call myself an expert on.)
I hoping for better luck, and a bigger budget next auction. :cheers:
