Title: Any one else end up going to US Amusements Woodbridge NJ Auction Sat 18th? PICS
Post by: mrclean on April 19, 2009, 11:42:00 pm: A few months back on the forum I posted a thread about going to an auction for the first time.. well, this was my third auction this year already! I didn't really take down the titles this time or the prices but I did manage to snap a bunch of pics.

Post by: mrclean on April 20, 2009, 11:27:03 am: yeah a few cabinets went for dirt cheap, I think another great deal which i was bidding on but ended up backing out was the Black Tiger that sold for $95.00 with a very crisp monitor and relatively clean cab.

Post by: mrclean on April 20, 2009, 09:20:52 pm: 2k+ in todays market?> I think they went for 800-1200 range however I didn't really pay too much attention to prices.

Post by: JonProphet on April 21, 2009, 10:06:36 am: Yeah, that Junk Yard is a rare pin and in good shape should go for over $2K.

If those pins were selling for $1200 I am at a loss for words. A data East is the low hanging fruit and I was seeing a Jurassic Park (one of the best Data East pins) going for $1,000 at auction.

Funhouse and World Poker Tour..... that went for over $2K at an auction I went to recently. Funhouse was designed by one of the top guys in the Pinball industry... Pat Lawler..... That is easily a $2K pin... maybe a little less.

*Edit* US Amusments hasn't updated their site in a LONG time. I would have love to try and bid on some of those pins.

That's because I don't think they are around anymore it's just people that used to work for them decided to branch off and have their own venues. They just claim it to be a "US Amusement" Auction but I think only super auctions are still around.

Post by: JonProphet on April 21, 2009, 10:24:52 am: I guess some RGP'ers were there. According to them most of the Pins were projects. In various states of disrepair. I guess the going rates were a bit high on some. If they were in good shape, I think my values are pretty correct.

Post by: mrclean on April 21, 2009, 11:15:21 am: all I know is that vids went for pretty decent prices, not the best selection in the world, however if you wanted a bargin on what they had available you were set.

Post by: Ummon on April 22, 2009, 03:48:47 pm: Good price on that Black Tiger. Sounds like better condition, and I think went for a little less, than the one at the auction I went to last year.
