Here are some of the prices I wrote down at Saturday's auction in Orlando. This list is far from complete as I was talking to some other people off and on during the auction. Along those lines, some prices may be slightly off. All additions/corrections are welcome.
If any prices seem really low, the quality was probably matching.
n/w = not working
Rampart 25 n/w Twin Eagle 75 Operation Wolf 50 Turbo Out Run 475 Final Fight 137.50 Time Killers 50 Assault 50 Cisco Heat 525 Ultimate MK3 800 Toki 25 Caliber 50 25 R-Type 75 Midnight Resistance 25 After Burner 300 upright TMNT 37.50 2-player, n/w Ms. Pac-Man 75 n/w 720 150 Donkey Kong 250 Galaga 350 1943 75 Jr. Pac-Man 150 Super Pac cab Demolition Derby 75 Continental Circuit 175 Double Dragon II 50 Hang On 250 Pole Position II 200 LaZarian 87.50 very nice condition Galaga 337.50 Arkanoid 50 n/w Ms. Pac-Man 200 Ms. Pac-Man 175 Ms. Pac-Man 162.50 Stargate 175 Kick Man 125 Tron 275 Cabal 75 Operation Thunderbolt 250 TMNT Turtles in Time 250 4-player Knights of the Round 175 Attaxx 37.50 Pit Fighter 25 monitor screwed up Rastan 50 Escape from the planet..75 APB 50 n/w Centipede 175 Moon Patrol 87.50 Track and Field 125 Final Fight 25 cabaret cab Shinobi 37.50 cabaret cab Ms. Pac 175 Double Dragon 25 DK Jr. 175 nice cab, no side art Tron 125 Galaxian 125 Dig Dug 125 Neo-Geo 300 1 slot w/Puzzle Bobble
Also, there were about 7 Street Fighter IIs/SF II Champ Ed's. These were all conversions (2 in what looked like Dig Dug cabs, 1 in a Punch-Out cab, and the ugliest of them all: a black Super Pac-Man cab with a generic marquee to boot - even the auctioneer was ragging on this one). They seemed to average around $50 for the 19-inchers, and around $200 for the 25-inchers.
I saw a suprising number of non-operator-looking types there; also met a few RGVAC'ers. Must be a pretty healthy scene going on in central Florida.
