If anyone is watching these auctions for the ganes, marquees, playfields.
I do live close, have a pickup.

This one is not really grabbing me,
Other than the weird pieces on some of the arcade games.
Robotron opened at $550 as did most.

Looking forward to the upcoming marquees, playfields, backglasses coming...

I always pay cash locally.
If I wanted a Nitro Ground Shaker, I would be set. For a game and a refurb.
The Alien Poker glass is way more roached than mine.
Watching the marquees and that T2 slot machine.

Strange......if you look at Shakelton's website F14 is at $2800, but if you look at Hibid its at $275. [both as of this post]

I’m pretty sure those are the reserves the auction house is placing. I think those bids kick into effect during the last minute. I watched one of these a few months ago with toy cars where the bids were all $1 with a minute left and ended up at $1500 each with only 2 bids, sometimes just 1 bid. I thought it was odd but everything went for a premium, even the auctions with only 1 bid that started low. Not sure if that’s the same case here or not but I would assume so

Mike Shakelton explained it on the FB Central Ontario forum.
They are using 3* different auction platforms and they don't sync up, when they auction goes live (really live, not online live) it'll start with the highest bid from the three.

* Hibid, Shakeltons, Live Auctioneers

Let them know the Buyers Premium isn’t the same on the various sites lol. What a mess lol. Anyhow to anyone thinking about buying, don’t bid on HIBID as they want an extra 5% premium there. Bid on shakelton website and they will have to meet those terms.

I was surprised the working arcade games prices.
Robotron, sure memories (but 2K plus)
Many of the marquees are low.
There are only a few I am interested in, and only cheap. Maybe a cheap neon.
I know I can get some decent something for under $100 usd at VFW.
Always looking for Secret Santa stuff.
