Title: Amazing NC auction pics - 1000's of games

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!

Post by: dax on February 25, 2006, 11:03:24 am: 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.

Post by: Mark70 on February 25, 2006, 11:31:16 am: 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.
