Any Arcade Auctions in Oz??

As per the topic. Anyone seen any arcade auctions in Australia?

The industry is DEAD here, I was talking to the guy from AMOA (Amusement Manufacturers Organisation of Australia) and they dont seem to have it together. Rather than moving some of their target market to home users and collectors, they'd rather abandon arcade machines entirely.

With arcades closing every day, you'd think there would be a crap load of machines out there that noone wants.

So back to the topic.. anyone know of any arcade auctions in Australia? Preferably NSW.

Anyone know of some auctions over here? I would like to know about them too. There used to be an aus BYOAC group, but I think it has since died. You can find it here.

There's been a couple of auctions in Adelaide in the last year or so, but most of the stuff has been overpriced and of variable quality. Guess it's a reflection of the organiser of said events, or so I've heard...

I used to live opposite a guy who had a business distributing vending and arcade machines, but the arcade cabinets went out in favour of 'skill' testers some time ago :P

I have found an online place; unfortunately (fortunately for me :P) it is located in Brisbane, though some of the sellers are elsewhere. It's a bit pricey but the quality is there. It's called Arcade 80s; you can find the buy/sell page here.

Yeah I've sent the guy from arcade80s about 10 emails / PMs / Messages on that forum and he has never replied to me.
