These are the winning bids at the Orlando Super Auction -
Saturday December second at the Orlando Fairgrounds

Their schedule can be found at: www.superauctions.com

122 Arcade Machines 25 Pinball Machines
---------------------------------------------------------------------------­--
The Auction moved very quickly - 122 arcade machines
in 90 minutes. About 75% of the cabinets had 25"
monitors. Someone cut the plugs off two machines
before the auction in an attempt to win them at
a low bid, but they were defeated by thrifty auction
technicians who fixed them. The pinball machines
looked pretty good, except one which was home to
many spiders and perhaps a few mice.

The auctioneer really milked the pin tables. The bidders
were generally a little more mature than the arcade bidders.
He knows they probably have more money too :)
