Title: Best Place to Buy Old Arcade Games
Post by: CPickler on April 13, 2005, 03:22:48 pm: Where is the best place to buy full arcade games? Auctions, Online, Newspapers, what?

If auctions or online where is the best place to find out about the auctions?

There are a few cabinets in particular I am looking for, and have been unable to find.

I think there's a super auctions in St. Louis... Check out their site... I'm lazy though, so just google it...

EDIT: Just checked their site, they don't have any in the next few month, sorry...

EDIT: Yep, they have 'em, but probably not before July or so...

I picked up a mint condition Defender that just needed a fuse for $50 from a Recycler listing. I've seen great deals on Ebay too, but they are usually in another state and the shipping options are expensive.
