I just pulled all this conversation over from pinballbash.com, so it's here where it truly belongs...

OK,
the Fl forum (
www.villageBBS.com) is down, a few days now unfortunately. Everyone is having hot flashes and cold sweats (but mostly hot flashes since it was 97 fucking degrees today!) since we haven't been able to chat for ...gasp! ...2 whole days now...we're freaking out! Anyway, I and others suggested posting here for a bit until things get stabilized, so I thought I'd start with something, since we figured you Carolina boys are interested in all the same stuff as us anyone, so it could only result in more friends and networking.
So, went to the Orlando Super Auction this morning, the consensus was with mostly everyone that it pretty much sucked. Only thing worthwhile was the nice CV that sold for $800. Besides that it was crappy. Yeah, you know I'm j/k Thomas! Wow, I really like all of Dave's funny faces and guys, those rock!
Anyway, Leon/ Ibis took down all the prices, I'm sure he'll post soon if he hasn't already on RGP that I haven't seen yet. Short list I can recall...AP, WCS, WCP, Lost in Space (Don't know if anyone would get "LIS"!), No Good Gofers, 3 x Hook (WTF?), 2 x Sharky's Shootout, Bally Star Trek that couldn't get credits on, Captain Fantastic couldn't get credits on, Black Knight turned on but couldn't boot up (Dan/ CNFuzzy got this one for $125 though, great deal if he can get it going, even though badly worn playfield...and an EM with termite damage, in, out, through, and even covered with sheet metal...big POS that still sold for $175...big WTF?
"LIS" had a few people interested including me if it sold cheap. It was very nice shape, EX really, played great...but it was kinda boring and considered sucky...and so it STILL sold for $1,600...another WTF. AP looked pretty nice also, maybe around $1,300 ballpark...NGG around $1,600 that had a few indents on playfield from vertical ramp going up and down and indenting. So, about 25 pins total, you people in China didn't miss anything.
It's mostly because Batman went the night before and bought up all the games so nobody else could get any... but I left Drexel that nice EM and he didn't jump on it. Smiley
2 rows of vids, nothing spectacular...Galaga selling for $500...more WTF. Deer Hunter games were $190 and $250... the typical Blast City cabs were around $250-$300. Just wait for Leon to post everything! Let's here from some of the other Villagers there...CNFuzzy, Ibis, Drexel, BigAl, Murfe... numbersix was there, but he better not take time to post and get back to work on the site! Smiley

...and of course there was a South Park pin there, Dave. Really. Don't remember the price, maybe $1,250?

The Ap was playing well during the preview period and then has an error activated during the auction on the DMD. The South Park was decent looking, missing the topper. I am pretty sure they were both sells and not buybacks. The owners were standing there bidding against the nubees.
Leon (Ibis) has the results, he should be posting them at some point.
