Arcade Auction Fall 2023 part 2 - American Amusement

[@willierants5880]

That 12 hours later... killed me. I'm glad you and Mike survived it. That auction was a snoozer, but as always I appreciate you two bringing it to us.

[@TheGeekPub]

I sure wanted that PacMania.. Too bad it was stripped of the boardset.

[@jeremypruitt3989]

I picked that one up and got an original boardset today!

[@AlexC1980s]

Thanks for showing the prices,. I was not able to make it to this one but saw the preview pictures and was wondering what the hammer prices were.

[@ElectricStarshipArcade]

You’re welcome!

[@willierants5880]

I'm glad I didn't make this one. Would've been fun to hang out some, but that one looked pretty arduous.

[@Isaac-ry3ks]

Hey what ever happen to the second inital d 4 that was getting repair did it ever come back little worried thanks

[@ElectricStarshipArcade]

Sadly I have to keep using parts off of it to keep the one going.

[@Isaac-ry3ks]

@@ElectricStarshipArcade alright thanks for the response

9:11 I hope at some point in the future, someone’s internet search leads them to this video as they are trying to figure out how to get their own Final Fight out of test mode, to finally learn that it is dip switch 8.

[@starlingmartinez9797]

You are incredible creating these arcades, my question is how people who want a personalized arcade to buy can contact you, request a product, buy it, and that you can send it to other countries such as my country in the Dominican Republic. I have a courier in Miami Florida that maybe I could receive. Can you send them to other countries or only in your country?

[@Roam865]

Crime got that CRT

[@ArcadeFreak-gw5rp]

That final fight was not in a slither cab it was in a red alert cab, just wanted to let you know .

[@ElectricStarshipArcade]

Good eye

9:18 I almost broke my wrist on one of those boxing machines BUT I scored 730 on it. LOL

[@victorbogen1558]

u guys make ur arcade machine from scratch! so what do u think about the 1up arcade machine! it not that expensive either like 200$

[@willierants5880]

1UPs aren't great, not bad either. Its all in what you want, how much you want to spend, if you like to tinker and restore things or just want to play, etc. 1UPs are pretty expensive for what they are, but sometimes it's the best option. Arcade machines are large, so unless you have the room for one the 1UPs make sense. Also arcade machines, while you can get one for a descent price, often need $$$ to get them working and/or nice enough to play and clean enough for a home. Unless you like the chipped, gummy, faded, sooty, dusty aesthetic. Some do, it's not for everyone though. The one thing I would recommend if you decide to go the 1UP route. Look for a used 1UP. People sell them ALL the time and you can or should be able to talk them off crazy price they are asking and get a pretty good deal.

[@ElectricStarshipArcade]

I think 1UPs are a great home use alternative. I wish they were a little bigger

[@Angelina-bi1ld]

Pacmania without the PCB AND messed up side art -AND-shitty lookin cabinet seen better days?....$800.00....yeah OK! Rolling thunder if its complete...dont know how much it went for.. ive would have bid on it,..wonky graphics. lesser game this time around,... thats ok..you got $$$ for next time,.. 'HOUSE OF THE DEAD"....lets say you won that for the $1,250.00...how much would you make it to play 1 credit,. AND how many plays would it take to get your money back by the end of a 1 month period,. $what price would make sense to you?$ keep the videos coming...great work

[@ElectricStarshipArcade]

Great insight. As far as House of the Dead goes we would never really be able to make our money back. Our arcade is admission based. You pay $10 to come in and everything is set to free. So it’s more about selection and vibe for us.

[@DavidLeeKersey]

Who every 213 was they bought a lot.

[@Gendo3s2k]

The auctioneer was kind of annoying. He would stop to have a conversation after every single lot
