No more MAME at Superauction

<< < (3/8) > >>

Rendour:
That's too bad if it's true. I had actually planned on selling my first cab at auction to help pay for a second cab that I would keep. I know that might not be popular around here, but I don't have the money to keep the first cab I build. I'm sure I'll find some other way to sell it, so it's not a total loss, just changes my plans a bit.

SirPoonga:
This event makes sense.  The auctions are more for collectors.  mame is not about collecting (hence why rgvac people doen't like mame).

fredster:
I see them at the auctions, but most of the ops are clueless to what they are.

mjc0505:
" I don't recall ever seeing a MAME machine at the Dallas SuperAuctions but perhaps I just overlooked them.

Where these have been seen/sold at other auctions are they being auctioned as "playable" machines with software and games installed?"

There have been several at each of the Dallas auctions that I have attended.  Usually there are a few stand-ups and a few cocktails. 

They are fully working with ArcadeOS (usually) and ROMS installed and ready to go.  They have always sold well too from what I've seen.

Witchboard:
I've seen the same setup with the auctions I've attended here.  ArcadeOS with maybe 15 or so vertical games ready to play.  By not allowing these things to be sold, he's really doing the sellers a favor.  It's only going to take a Namco rep one time to find these things and start nailing asses to walls.
