yeah!,..i went!,..What a STUPID> :censored: show! ..OH MY GOD!...not only that i trekked it all the way from brooklyn new york to the middle of nowhere!,..which is 3-1/2 hrs away,..it rained all day long!, :badmood:..so that killed the chances of anyone bringing anything worth of good value and condition there,..and the building was pretty much empty!,...yeah you heard me,..EMPTY!...i would say about 80 arcade/pinball/vending/dunebuggy/bicycle/jukes>>mostly CRAPPY arcades! Most of the games didnt work properly,and were missing many parts..A mini battlezone that looked like the inside of the cabinet thew-up on itself was in terrible shape and didnt turn on, busted corners,controls,and fake ad saying "this game is rare and were only 500 made!" YEAH RIGHT! went for $360!(buy-back) though there was some oddball-cool looking things there too like a cocktail pinball,hollesseum that looked like :censored:, 39 in 1 multi-kit in a donkey kong jr cab which my friend wanted but i talked him out of it because it was configured incorrectly,..though the pacman mini 70 games in 1 was nice at $725,..an asteroids cocktail went for $370? i couldnt even find the start buttons on it ! Most of the things there was just too crazy to buy (it was waaayyy to OVERPRICED)What i managed to come home with was 10 brand new power cords (for my little auction) going on on my side of the world of Brooklyn!,...i scored on 5 cabarets complete for a mere..$125 :cheers: yep!,..I didnt really need this dumpy york auction to satisfy my needs!,..i was just curious,..so i went,..my friend Marc though was there in hopes of a good multicade!,..it was his first time to an auction,..dont get me wrong,..some of the things there were very nice too, but i expected more since it was the last show of the winter!
THIS SHOW WAS>> :lame:
