That same machine was there today..and bought back again.
WAS A VERY GOOD AUCTION FOR NEO STUFF.
No carts, not a lot of parts, but the cabs there were INCREDIBLE.
I lost out on every neo cab, just because they were going too high for my taste, and the same guy bought every one of them. (or almost everyone)
A BEAUTIFUL 4 slot 25incher went for 325. ABSOLUTELY awesome cab. A nice 19incher was there with LED's, mem card..etc. Pretty cool.
A dedicated MS3 was there! I was going to grab it, but it was too big for my house. Very close, but i just wussed out.
There had to be at least 6 or 7 neo cabs there, with some conversions.
Prices for stuff were GREAT. I mean INSANE..people were really shocked for what went for what prices, but Baba Borden and some operators were shill bidding and buying back a lot. What didn't get shill bid and bought back was very very good.
I picked up a box of bil validators for $1, A parts cocktail of Space invaders for $65 and a JAMMA cocktail (for mame purposes) for $125.
Pins were insanely high as always.
If anyone else was there, I was there in my Ireland Rugby shirt and I bid on a lot ofthe 25 inch cabs.
Steals of the auction:
$325 for a Dedicated Soul Calibur 25in. (Wincedwhen I passedit up)
$325 for a near perfect 25''4slot
$175 for a centipede cocktail
$625 for a Ms.Pac w/ speedup chip
$25 for a video poker
$35 for a Tourney Solitaire
$350 for a Star wars pin
$1 for a box of bill validators (I won.)
$250 for a Sinistar Standup
$275 for MS3 Dedicated
$175 a piece or less for dedicated Centipede cabs.
$25 for a boxed Skins game kit (complete)
There were many many more that were notable, but thosereally stick out in my mind.
Thanks VanillaThunder for telling me how it went..
My uncle went but I only spoke to him for a minutes today..(though he went late)I really don't think he bought anything within the parts,but he said he picked up two cabs in the quick talk we had and that I was going to be surprised..
I have no clue what they are yet..
With all the money he spends you'd think he'd buy a good fkn cell phone..It's crap..
Neo Geo Cabs..
"same guy bought every one of them"
Ah,,so you ran into the same thing/guy...
Did he have a "big" ring of keys on his side and ran around looking at the the Neo's like a crazy man..?
I wonder if that guys shill bidding...
The guy I saw last time was bidding on every Neo Geo cab..
We have the same taste in what we look for..
You got some excellent deals,Congratulations!!!!!!
Oh,man I would of loved to pick up that Cocktail/s...Sweet,deal man..(nice projects)
I haven't seen a Dedicated MS3 cab since they took it out of the bowling alley.
I don't have room for it,but I would of thought about picking that up..(unless you wanted it)..
Bill validators
Yea,last ttime they had a bunch of them..
They all sold for cheap..
Boxes of them for 1-5 dollars.
I honestly don't have any use for them,but damn they look well worth more then a dollar..(it's crazy how cheap they sell for)
I bet they cost quite a penny at happ or..
Ah,ha,,(Dedicated Soul Calibur 25in.)..
Whew,...My uncle would of been on that machine if it was nice..
He wants that machine,it's his favorite game..he would of pushed for this I'd say up to $500.00-$600.00...
(If I told him I'd put it in here/he wants to play it,not store it.)..
That's the deciding factor..I'd have to bring it here..
Whatever he bought today will go in storage,for now...I doubt he bought that machine today..
He would of made sure he called me..to tell me about it..to see if he could bring it here...
If I go next time we have to meet up..
I'd like you to show me who these guys are that shill bid and who Baba Borden is..
How do they get away with that crap...?
Any high priced Merit machines..?..(Most Likely..: )
How about the Slot Machines..?..(cheap/etc..?
I really wanted to pick one up this week to give to my father in law..(Christmas Present)
The Slots they had there last time sold really cheap but were banged up..( I passed)
I never was able to get a good condition Slot Machine at Auction..
At least the ones I was looking for..
One of the reasons I didn't buy my two Slot machines from an auction.
