The SuperAuctions in Colorado

Maaaaan ... I all but gave away a baseball game that was in a beautiful Robotron cabinet. I thought about putting that same Multi-Williams board into it but I set a limits to projects like that. If they don't move forward within a year, sell the cab and move on.

I should have gone, but I definitely would have purchased some stuff if I did. The Wizard of Wor went for $200! Arrrgh! Ah well, ... well, there is no "ah well" as the thing is un-emulate-able for me, since I am going to drop jrok's Multi-Williams kit in as my last cab.

I must now begin the process of getting a, hopefully empty, horizontal cab. I bought a Robotron marquee months ago, and it would be great if I could drop that in and paint the empty cab to look like a Robotron.

Even if you don't go to buy anything, you all should definitely go. I have been to many SuperAuctions events in the past and they are always fun.

I haven't looked up the details for this specific auction, but generally speaking the auctions start around 10am with a two hour preview before the auction begins. During those two hours you pretty much have cart blanch to plug in, test and play games at will. So like I said, even if you aren't going to buy, that part can still be fun.

I've grabbed some crazy good deals from SuperAuctions in the past. My experience has been, the longer you're willing to stay the cheaper things eventually get.

you've definitely gotta go. i was thinking about not going, but, it's probably gonna be a long time before we see this again, as it's not a general auction, but bob from paradise unloading a bunch of extra shit he has.

you know, i didn't see those williams games on there. i'd be down for some defender or stargate love. i'm just hoping i can get something for less than say, $150 or so, as i'm com-fuckin-pletely broke. if you do get that wizard of wor that'd be cool. i think that's a game that a whole lot of people won't be bidding on, so you might have a chance on it...

so here's the new list of stuff for me:

galaga
tron
defender or stargate.

now, if i'm completely unlucky, i think i'll go to that restaurant and offer the guy $100 for that galaga cocktail. i'm jonesin for a game, been too long since i got one. i'm sure he won't take it, as he's a crazy mexican, but you never know...

as far as the auction goes, you can ride with me if you want. i'm gonna get there around 8 or so, or whatever time everyone thinks is a good time to meet up and go over stuff...

Jim!!!! Glad to see you here! Sorry the place has become a completely abandoned website, I got sideswiped with Fallout 3 and stuff.

I was thinking of not going, only because I had a $300 plumber bill (along with dry wall repair) crop up on Monday. I am also fairly out of space and have no transportation.

However, on the other side of the equation, I am a complete sucker for arcade games, and it may be years before there is another auction out here. And yeah, I love me some Wizard of Wor and even if that gets snatched up by somebody, this is my big chance to get a Williams cab for jrok's board.

OK, lemme sort through all this when I get out of work and see what I can swing - yeah, it would be cool to hang out and just experience the auction even if I do not get anything.
