You would be insane to buy such easily-available, well-known games like those at this auction. The only vids you should be going for here are rarer stuff that are not household names.
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:I've decided I can't start drinking today yet.
I might accidentally bid on something.

That's more what I get from this. Even let's say these are "pristine" and mint condition, you can typically find a beat up game and do a full restoration for less.
But I would say, I was looking at the Konami 4 player cabinets they put up yesterday since I have a TMNT HUO in my basement. The prices for GI-Joe and Simpsons were what I would say reasonable for a good condition (and assuming all original hardware) cabinet.
But the added price people are paying is someone who just bought their new $2.5M mansion and need to fill up their arcade room with decent condition machines without having to buy from multiple people across the country.

Sage words Dude, sage words...
ahh into the Euro games now ... be interesting how these go. Spent MANY hours doing tech work on these when we could get over to the US for a show

Over $4k for a janky Simpsons is definitely not reasonable. $4500 for GI Joe isn't terrible in comparison due to the rarity, although the cpo was repro and badly installed, and the game itself kinda sucks.
Quoted from Oneangrymo:Um I just bid 5700 on Jetsons
Is that good?
They normally sell in the $5000-$5500 range used, so not terrible.

Didn't know that for the cpo. I'm just going off pictures. For some reason I thought I remember the Simpsons going for 3k and it was the $4500 for GI-Joe. But yeah that was pretty high then. I wonder what a TMNT 4 player cab would have gone through since all these people would geek out over it.
I'm actually surprised they didn't have a F355 Challenge Cabinet. Seems the bigger driving cabs last night weren't going for insane prices. I think the Mario Kart ones were the only ones that went for a lot.

Guess I was just bored. Clicked that button and farted at the same time.

The most sane deal of the day
Quoted from Oneangrymo:Guess I was just bored. Clicked that button and farted at the same time.
I was in at $5000 if that tells you anything.
I'm only 3 pins away from putting together a complete set of Spookys.
Can't wait to see what Luci goes for. That will show the power of world-wide recognized theme vs non-so-well-known-themes.
just in case you thought there was at least some left for sanity in our world... you get events like this.
We're so f'd...
Quoted from uncivil_engineer:I figured out how to download a listing of all the hammer prices so far.
As of last night's ending (lot 426):
sum of all hammer prices:
$1,480,400
Estimated take home price (hammer * 1.257)
$1,860,863
ya, you can copy and paste the list at the bottom of the auction page...

I'm surprised they didn't have a 6-player X-Men...that would've blown the roof off.
Quoted from joetechbob:On the hunt for AMH but at ~$8k plus shipping on top... :/
Me too man, me too 
Quoted from seenev:$10k hammer on GB Premium...
I honestly didnt think that was too bad, these things are really hard to find these days.
LOL SW Premium can literally be bought new in box from Stern right this moment for $4k less?
Quoted from Oneangrymo:Um I just bid 5700 on Jetsons
Is that good?
So $7000 after fees?
No. Not good.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:So $7000 after fees?
No. Not good.
Well like I said I farted and my finger slipped at the same time.
Dont let it happen to you!
Quoted from Heretic_9:I think I recall seeing a Joust sell on eBay for around $450., but that was a few years back.
Well that person just paid $21k out the door for theirs.
Also "thank you for what you did do!" from the chat... like, what does that even mean? Thanks for driving up the prices? This isn't for charity. They're thanking them for padding their pockets haha
Quoted from seenev:I can't believe this is on up and up anymore. Rich people aren't this stupid.
They just people like the rest of us. Stupid or smart, emotions drive us.

I was walking to get ice cream last night and pulled up the stream on my phone. I accidentally thumb clicked on some forgettable game, thank fully there was a bid war going on and I got outbid. I was going to be said if I had bid during the drawn out "one more time" bids and actually won it.
Quoted from srt-8:always wanted a challenger ... pity I'm in Australia
Not feeling as bad now .... thought it was about to go for only 3.5k LOL
Quoted from FlippyD:They just people like the rest of us. Stupid or smart, emotions drive us.
Emotions might let you overspend on a rare game. Overspending by thousands on games still in production or recent production games with large production runs? That's stupidity.
Quoted from Knxwledge:Is anyone there today? How is the atmosphere from the crowd?
A friend that's there said about 40 people are onsite. But he's blown away by the prices - pretty much seems to be the same with everyone.
I coulda driven an hour and a half to go to this thing but don't really have room for any more games in my crackerbox house unless I shoved em in the garage. Yeah I grew up paying 50 or 100 or 200 bucks for EMs in the 80s but a few of the early SS games like the Eight Ball Champ that went for 2800, I woulda paid that if it isn't beat up. Some of the winning bids seem to be a little less insane now. A little.
