Cash only? I've never seen that at an auction before, and for potentially big ticket items? Sounds like a mugger's paradise, will the big guns show up with armored guards?

Geez. This is *RIGHT BY* where I live - literally about 5-10 minutes. Problem is, I can't make it Tuesday

 

Figures.

I was gonna ask you to see how much a Galaga/Ms Pac was if you were going. Yes, lol I know I am fixated.

AFAIK, those Class of '81 combo units still command fairly high prices.

Please let me know if anyone plans to attend this auction. As is the case with Chicky, I cannot attend. I am looking for a decent Robotron Cab and would be willing to pay someone to act as a proxy if there is one up for auction. Please PM if interested.

 

Thanks,
