OK well I'm going to start out by saying that I went to this auction because it was very close to my house. This auction took place on 3/28/09 in Farmingdale, NY (on Long Island). Many people from BYOAC, and KLOV have slammed this guy, and this auction and that it's "supposidly" a scam. That being said I went any way just to see what it was like. As it turns out they actually had a decent selection of things from a few handful of classics, pins, and redemption / sit-down drivers. I met up with a fellow klover for moral support since it was my first auction that I was going to bid on because of what they had available. The guy who runs the auctions his name is pete. I called pete after the auction had ended the next day because I left a personal item at the auction, and sure enough he held it, and returned it to me. All and all I don't think it's a scam at all, anyone that tells you it is doesn't want more competiton at the auction. I ended up buying 2 classics, 1 was actually one of my grails! konami/centuri's Circus Charlie in the original cabinet working I payed $150.00. The other classic I snatched up was Namco/Atari's Dig Dug in a dedicated original l atari cabinet working for $130.00. Don't worry I'll soon fully restore them to their former glory! Here is a list of other games they had with some prices. I didn't take down alot because I wasn't interested in redemption stuff or driving games etc.. : Ms. Pacman (Awesome condition new painted sideart,glass etc fully restored)- $650.00 Circus Charlie - $150.00 - I bought this. Donkey Kong Jr. (monitor needed cap kit / new tube) - $100.00 Final Lap 3 - $150.00 NBA Hang Time - ?

Bally Fireball nice shape - 1100.00 Who Dunnit - 750.00 Playboy -? Ripley's Believe it or not - ? Striker Xtreme They also had a buncha stuff im leaving out like redemption, but i'm not into that stuff so i really didn't even take down any of the names. So again to re-cap all and all I thought I got a decent deal on those two classic cabinets I bought. Should you read about the scam this and scam that it sounds to me like people don't want competition at this venue. Maybe he has changed from previous auctions, but I will be returning to the next event he has especially being that it's so close to my house. |

Where should I be looking (online?) so that I don't miss one of these again? I'm twenty minutes from there and would have gone just to check things out if nothing else. Thanks. |

Nice grabs at good prices ... I am jealous of that CC and digDug looks nice as well! :cheers: |

Yeah I couldn't believe it that I was able to track down CC in the original dedicated centuri cabinet. It's funny Circus Charlie was pretty much the main reason as to how I got into this hobby actually. I played that game when I was younger in sleep away camp in the video game rec-room. And about I'd say 5 years ago found a way to replay it in MAME, and then realized how damn good I was with Gun.Smoke, built a dedicated one of those just to beat the world record... And now I'm starting to get more into original / dedicated machines. Don't get me wrong I still have a great appreciation for MAME but it's almost like mp3's vs. a vinyl record, they just aren't the same. As for the dig-dug cabinet.. It's on my list of games that I wanted to own but it's not on the "top" of my list, I just grabbed it because it was the original cabinet / working and it was pretty cheap. I have compiled a list of about 125 classics / games that I would like to own. Of that large list maybe only 10-15 games are highlighted my must-owns, and circus charlie was deffinatley one of them. I kept just buying PCB's and they started to just sit on a shelf.. now it's time to start snatching up cabinets. |
