I found this looking for Rally-X cabaret sites. You all may have seen these pics before but I had not. Prepare for rows and rows of auction goodness!

Crap! I have seen places with rows and rows of games, but never anything like how they had them stacked to the ceiling! So many cabinets, so little money, so little space and some much distance between me and them.

Holy Crap.  What year was this?  I'd like to know how much these guys spent for 75 games.  Unbelievable.

It would be nice to know what kind of prices some of the cabs went for.  The author says the Ms. Pac Mans went for big bucks, but I have no idea by what standard he means.

I was wondering the same thing about prices.

Does it take someone who is exclusively in the arcade business to load up a cube van full of games, or were the prices THAT good, that it was worth the 14hr drive and expense for your average, "have a cabinet or two in the basement" type of guy.

I was looking and looking for CHEXX hocky tables in there.  They're the one thing I really want, but are too expensive to buy new and cost almost as much to build from the replacement parts list.
... arcade builders could someday rule the world...currency would be reduced to quarters only, and wars would be settled

All those games make my eyes water.

What year was this?

According to the heading on page nine and ten the year is 1999.
