Just wondering what the USAA sale was like at the fairgrounds this past
weekend, if there were any cool classics, bargains in the junk row...
or a junk row at all.

Between gas prices and the complete lack of space in the garage, I
decided to skip it.

Thanks for any info.

Greg has the prices. Most of the games were not to nice. Prices wer
average. No super bargains. I picked up a Gurilla Wars for 165 and my
cousin grabbed a Golden Axe for 160, both really nice cabs. Had 4 or 5
pac/Ms Pac cabs, 2 Space Invaders, one horrible Gauntlet II conversion,
2 Road Blasters. Auctioneer said every game was nice and "We hardly
ever seem them in this condition" Decent Pin selection and prices
there were kinda high. Auction went failry quick Sat. Need to show
the guy cooking the food how to cook the chicken strips. My cousin had
one that was not all the way cooked. Should have been a sign when he
said "never eaten here before, have ya'?"

Nice time. Looks like they dont come back till Sept though. Maybe I
am wrong but thats what I heard.

Cool - thanks for the rundown. Good to see nothing from my short list
showed up.

I think I can make room in the garage by September... maybe.

Thanks Mike! My wife was happy enough with the auction result to let
me buy Blaine's Tron (mentioned here a few days ago). It pays to grab
games for the wife whenever possible, even if I do get some strange
looks from friends when I tell them that I have Pooyan, Flicky, and
Magical Drop III in my collection...

Did anyone catch the price of the KI2 in the last row? I really wanted it,
but I couldn't stay until they got back to those games.

Thanks!!

Pretty small one this time; nothing that interested me personally.
No dead row (has there even been one in the last four years?).

Who needs a dead row when you can say that the game was up and running
yesterday...
