Wow. That's worth the 5 min to watch the video. It's nutty to see racks and racks of folded up games. I wonder how many more auctions there are left and what the total revenue for 900 games is

The thing I like about videos like this is that I can show them to my girlfriend and then all the junk I have appears normal.

Wow. What a cliffhanger! I wonder how it ended...

Here's the auction site. Someone one pinside found it.

Open up the cheque book. There's a lot.

Looks like 95 pinball games in this auction. Most are wood rails, but there's some DMD's too. It's titled "Coin-Op, Advertising & Pinball Day 3" so who knows how many have already gone, or how many are left.

Interesting.

Anyone know how to rip this video? I want to show someone this (offline).

I have an iPad app called vdownload+ That let's you save streaming video onto your device. Might work on iPhone too.

isn't the thread topic kinda the reason we're all here in the first place?

Here's the last bunch of games. About 400 games, (some look pretty bad) and 95 other lots consisting of random playfields, groups of 4 back glasses, game heads or piles of legs. You might find a random gem in the mix but nothing caught my eye. Mostly games from the 40's 50's and 60's.
