Raven..:
I won't be taking anything to Super Auctions again. I lost my butt today.

I went. Was my first time. Ended up picking up a non-booting Galaxian for $150. Really liked the Asteroids Delux Caberet, it needed like no work at all and the screen was georgous. It went for $450 which was more then I had planned to spend for the day.
Here's how some bidding went down:
Galaga/Pac Reunion: $1150
Ms Pac: $625, $475, $375, $375, $425, $375, $375, $350
Super Pac: $275, $225
Kangaroo: $125
Galaga: $500, $500, $575, $425, $425, $375, $775
Centipede Caberet: $600
Asteroids Deluxe Caberet: $450
Defender: was passed on for I don't know why..
Space Invaders Deluxe: $425
Gravitar: $450
Star wars: $700
Bosconian: $225
Centipede: $350
Warlords: $500
There were lots more games, I only cared about a few games and didn't feel like sticking around to what seemed like an all night event. There was a bit of everything there, including some cocktails which I neglected to photograph.
Anyhow, here's some photos for those who didn't go. Very addictive!

We bought our Ms Pacs back.
The big deal for the day.........a Star Wars cockpit for $150 !!!!!!!!!
I wasn't there, my partner was. He didn't buy it.

Thanks for posting these guys, seems there was a pretty good variety even if there weren't any deals per say. And pics are always nice. Last Super Auctions I went to an empty Tempest cab went for $80, looked pretty good shape. And there was a real good looking dragon's lair. Good times. Wish I could grab a decent Candy Cab there someday, they always have a fishing game in em though. Hopefully that means that it already has a Naomi board in it though.
I'm not familiar with pricing but I'm a little surprised Ms. PacMan is worth an average of a few hundred less than a Galaga.
I know this is way too vague, but every time I tell someone to go to one of these they always ask "How much is a pinball machine". Can anyone toss out a good range they have seen these go for? I never pay attention cuz I don't want one really.

CSA3d - Very nice pics. Thanks for taking them. Your camera does a good job. The place we have our auctions is pretty dark - that place seemed to have some good light. I'm always interested to hear the going rates at an auction.
