Quoted from rotordave:Pretty much agree with all you said here. No way I could have built up my collection at today’s prices. “Back in the day” I was buying more than 10 SYS11s for way less than the price of the 1x Banning Bad Cats. Lol!
Pretty soon we'll be doing hearse tours through the outback to bring these Aussie and Kiwi pins back home.
Quoted from mbwalker:So were they donated to John?
Based on the 990s, that appears to be the case.
Quoted from Kungen:How much did Big Bang bar and Pirates CE sell for?
There is a list a page or two back. I wanna say $25K and $32K, respectively, plus taxes and fees.
Quoted from Miguel351:That's what I'm most curious about, too. If these machines were legally donated to a 501c(3), aka the MoP, then sold for those stupid prices, who received the proceeds? If Weeks himself did, there are a lot of legal questions to be asked. If those monies were dispersed to a "board of directors" of sorts for the MoP, there are also legal ramifications for that scenario. If the proceeds from the sale of those games that were donated were given back to the families of those who donated them, then all should be fine. I guess someone could have outright purchased the museum before the sale, thereby transferring the entire collection to a single private owner right before the sale. That would be better legally, but still kind of a sheisty thing to do.
Based on the 990s, that was not the case. The non-profit had very few assets on its books.
