FG and DH were decent prices..
FG ended at 3700 + 10% + tax

That means it was a final price of $4599.10

I saw this FG when they brought it in for sale. It was player condition, from the arcade. Used to take tokens, and the cab took a bit of a beating. It was also "repaired" as when I was there, it was not 100% functional. So who knows what they did to prep it for auction.

Prices like that make me appreciate kijiji more and more.
I see the days of actually going to the warehouse for the auction and actually getting a 'good' deal are over.
Also what's with the Texas auction link? Bring that smash TV arcade here and I'll bid, albeit not too much over a few hundred as I have to compare the cost of 8 bit graphics to a PS4...

Ahhh but for classic vids you're paying for the gameplay not the graphics! ;) That's why classics are so good, the gameplay makes up for the graphics, whereas games of today I find the gameplay lacking but they sure do look purrrrdy!

I recall what strip poker was like on the old Commodore 64 and you are right the graphics are a whole lot better now!

Too bad you're still playing strip poker on the PC instead of real women!

The live auction environment will return one day soon.

Warlock's Warehouse (Scott) and Port Union Pinball (Walt aka Brewmanager) will host a live auction in 2015.
I now have a dedicated (temporary) Warehouse for my Coin OP devices. I am still searching for the correct permanent shop.

Then the auction, the gatherings, the pow-wow's in Ontario and the private rentals of an event space will begin in earnest here in the Bluff's.

These are the updated prices if you factor in the 10% buyer's premium + tax. (I think the math is right)

RbioN: 3542.55
Roller: 1895.58
Sinbad: 839.03
FG: 4599.10
JD: 2921.05
DH: 2175.25

I miss the days of the live auctions.

That is the reason I didn't even bothering registering this auction. The prices from the online auctions aren't interesting to me at all.
