Auction Results: June 5, 2010
The Winston-Salem auctions seem to be fluctuating between really big and really small here lately. This one was small. So small, in fact that even though I stayed until the last machine was auctioned, I was still out of there by 4:00 PM.
There were a few decent classic video games there this time around. There were also a number of really bad conversions--a Tron cabinet that had been covered on both sides with woodgrain contact paper and converted into a Sky Shark, for example. There were only a few multigames this time--the JAMMA ones went high, the one Ultracade MAME machine went really low (my friend Mike Nelson got that one). My friend Jim also got a game--a Tekkan that was in an original Gauntlet cabinet (another one of those really bad conversions). He only paid $75 for it--basically he wanted a decent but cheap monitor. Anybody who wanted a 25" monitor for a steal would have been in luck, too--some big, new(ish) games were going for insanely low prices...like an EA Sports golf game with a 25" monitor, fully working, for $50!
There were only a couple of things I was interested in. One was an old electro-mechanical submarine game called Sea Raider. My dad and I used to play that game on the boardwalk in Ocean City, Maryland. It was great for nostalgia...but not worth as much as it went for (at least not to me). The other thing I would have liked to have was a Doctor Who pinball machine. It was in good shape and went for a decent price...but I wasn't prepared to drop almost a grand on a game at the time. Ah, well...maybe next time.
