Room 34 Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Was it just me, or did that selection SUCK? I made a feeble attempt to bid on the Dig Dug. (I bid at $325; it actually WENT for $425... my wife's stern admonishment not to buy anything was still ringing in my ears.) There was a SWEET Tempest machine that went for $900, but that was just about the only good thing there (other than the game where you pedal the bike and steer the human-powered aircraft around to pop balloons... I LOVE that game!)... The machine that took the cake had to be the cocktail table pinball machine (never seen one before!) that had a LITERAL RAT'S NEST inside on the playfield. YUCK! I hope the next auction's better... but it's 5 days after my son is due to be born so I probably won't make it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know you were pregnant! How's your wife feel about that? Conga-Rats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEBRO Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 I didn't know about it. I couldn't get another arcade game now anyway. How did you find out about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted February 28, 2003 Author Share Posted February 28, 2003 http://www.superauctions.com They have an auction in Atlanta about every 6 to 8 weeks. This was only the second one I had been to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy will she FLIP when she finds out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped by that place one time, when they were supposed to be open (at about 4 PM on a Friday), and it was all locked up. The lights were all on but no one was inside. I guess it would pay to call ahead. Thanks for the tip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
