I've been to the last two (July & late Sept/early Oct) auctions at the Milwaukee state fairgrounds.
I ended up buying an upright Star Wars Trilogy cab at the July meet.
Below is a link to Super Auctions website for those of you requesting more info. The biggest negative
is you don't know the available games prior to the auction. The July meet had a very good selection
of new and classic games. Some in good condition and some were major projects.
The cost per game is the winning bid, plus 13% auction fee and 5% sales tax. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes as you will be standing for a long time and bring some quarters. The games are available to play a couple of hours prior to the bidding. However, some are set to "free play" and some
require quarters.

Yeah never liked how some were requiring quarters. Nearly everybody seemed to just keep the coin door unlocked so you could flick the coin trigger mech and try out the machine. I can understand that you might want to lock the door so that people can't reach up in there and take a neo-geo or CPS cart out of there or just pull on all the wirring (to say sabotage someones machine so it sells for less) but all the machines that were locked got close to no play. The owners loss there as far as generating interest in their machine.

I didn't stay for the full pins section, though I did stop back after grabbing lunch to see what was going on and they were half way through things. The EM's (pins in my above pics) went for 600$ and $400 if i remember correctly. Modern machines were going for at least $1200 and I think most of them were in the mid $2000s if not close to $3000.
I'm not up on pin pricing really, but I also was curious to know who much they go for. Seems like you should plan on dropping some dead presidents if you want one.

So a Star Wars went for $700 and a Star Wars cockpit only went for $150? :angry: :banghead: :hissy: :badmood:
