I went...Wow were things over priced....Someone purchased a non working ataxx machine for 125. A stripped roadblaster Cab with a monitor...well a tube with a broken neck and a non centering control for 100...Most of the machines were kind of working and were being sold from 400-3000 bucks....It was insane how much people paid to own a golden Tee (te-2002-2004 ETC) Its golf....yikes.I took off half way through , when they started on the pinball machines. They started at 1500-3000 for some nice ones. way too expensive...

The weirdest prices I saw were for little pea green 24-26 inch japanese sit down machines. They had a 4 in one running on them (galaga-pac-man-ms pacman-and somthing else) 700-900 bucks. they must have been 4 feet tall.

I'm not returning to this until I have a butt load of spending cash and a uhaul...

Is this what it's like in the rest of the country.???

Superauctions pricing and selection tend to be all over the board.

Last one I attended I bought.

Road Blasters. Excellent condition (but no sideart), perfect yoke, perfect overlay. $150

Atari Basketball. Rusty control panel, didn't come up. (had working 23" monitor, 2 working trackballs, and very clean boardset and manual inside). $5

Star Wars cockpit. Complete, maybe a "7" in condition. Monitor has glow, needs deflection work and slight work to the AR II board. Bought in parking lot. $150

At the same auction I also passed up (Mostly to avoid making 19 trips back to pick stuff up).
Several working 25" games in the $125 to $150 range.
Monaco GP mini (playing blind) $50
Nicest Capcom Bowling I have ever seen. In Gottlieb cabinet with perfect "bowling alley" laminate. $125
Complete but dead Atari Lemans (black and white driver). $5
Baby Pac, dead, no playfield glass. $50
Complete, fully working, decent condition Bombjack $50
Multi-Pac (yellow sides) $500 (pretty nice)
Atari Football $45 (dead, kind of smelled bad)
Decent Time Pilot upright $100
Decent Gyruss $125
Plenty of other stuff too.

if you thought that stuff was overpriced you should have stuck around. the two 25" games in the "junk line" went for $275 and $300. that is when i left >:(

Have you been to superauctions in so cal before??? I was wondering if the prices were a fluke or a nightmare.  :P I am planning on attending the next auction in fullerton. The one that is going to be  simulcast on ebay auctions. I see that as a recipe for HIGH prices. Dirt, Are you going to attend? ;D
