Milwaukee Super Auctions. I've been to the last 3. This time things just seemed to be going for insanely cheap. At least compared to prices at the last few. Several Ms. Pacmans going for less than 500, many dedicated. I think one was even less than 400. Galaga for between 400-500, if I remember right. Seems like they usually go for almost double this. A really nice Dig Dug even went for around 300. I got these:
Crystal Castles: $125. I actually thought it was dedicated before I bought it, I just didn't look that close. All the games were packed in tight, and you couldn't really see the side art. Turns out it was a missile command cab. I don't really care, it was cheap, it works great, and at least it's kind of close in shape to one of the dedicated cabs.
Roadblasters: $175. Monitor is a little wonky. Nothing that a cap kit shouldn't take care of. Works great. Doesn't have the Atari side art, but did they all have that?
Satan's Hollow: $175. Dedicated, all art, plastic stuff, controller, and everything, complete. I was really excited to get it for that price, I don't think it turns up too often. Now the shitty part is it was working at the auction. After it was moved, doesn't work. It fires up, but all that shows up on the screen is scrambled graphics. Something must of gotten bumped around. Hopefully taking everything apart and reconnecting will get it going again.
My buddy I was with got:
Arkanoid: $125. Non dedicated, but it works great.
Apb: $125. Dedicated, works great, but the monitor has some convergance problems.
Street Fighter 2 Turbo: $125. Non dedicated, but it's the bootleg/hacked "Rainbow" board, which is super fun and ridiculous to play. Machine works great.
Nba Jam Tournament Edition: $350. Dedicated 4 player version. Super, super good shape. All the artwork is complete and in great condition. May have paid a bit too much, but we really wanted this one. Totally worth the money.
All of these games are in this friend's skatepark. We're hoping to have some of them available for the public to play, if the liscensing stuff isn't too hard to take care of. Does anyone here have any experience with that? Otherwise, there's a private room that most of them are in already. Either way, it's well on it's way to being the funnest place on the planet. I have a Beast Busters and one of those english mark darts games that I'm going to move there soon. Double Dribble cab was already residing there too. And foosball.
Pictures soon.
