Well I guess appollo amusements did so well at the last absolute Arcade Game Liquidation at the St Pete beach amusement center he figured he would do it again.

I think I will stay home this time. It is not worth the $85 to fill my truck up to get there and back.

He cleaned up last time. He won't have the hype this time though.

I wonder if a few of the gems that were at the amusement center that didn't make the first auction will make the second one? There was a super nice Tempest in the back (doubt it will make it) Space Duel (might make it) and Varkon (yeah right, Russo probably wants 10k for this).

I expect mostly garbage machines this time.

I bet there is going to be a lot less people at this auction. There were a lot of locals at the last one and in my opinion he really suckered a lot of people.

I was standing there and one guy walked up to him and asked if all the games worked or did some have issue's. Russo's response was you should have come and looked at them during the preview.

They could at least give a list of the games in the pics... but what's the fun in that, instead of the "just come and see what will be there" attitude.

So you have to get there a day in advance to play and test the game? Like we have nothing better to do on a work day?
Will all of the games be turned off on Sat.?

I dont know why you guys bother...Russo is just gonna take your money, ram you up the backdoor, smile, and move on.

It's like you expect something else... ???

Brian, don't make me give you a tour of the inside of your Creature through the coin door...it would screw up the Hologram I'm almost certain. :'(
