I just heard that Laser War went for 400 and Junkyard went for 1000! I'm new but are those not good prices?

JY for a grand could have been awesome if it was in good shape. Whew what a relief, thank goodness I not interested in that game.

Cheap vids must of been a feeding frenzy. Wow it probably came down to what you could carry home.

What's a "Funhouse Key"?

It was a piece of wood, about 2" x 10", that had 'Funhouse Ticket' painted on it. It had a couple of keys hanging off the end.

I heard it was in good shape.  There was also a 10% buyer's premium and tax.  Still a good deal.

Fantastic! When will the museum be open? I've got fists full of quarters.

Quoted from Monkeybug

So when is the museum opening?  

I am looking for a place right now, have been for a while. Went to niagara after the auction and saw some nice places down there, fairly cheap. Bottom line is I have to thin the herd a bit to generate some more capital to get a decent sized place. I did find a nice place beside the docks in T.O , but I could only fit around 50 max, and it is a little on the expensive side. I sincerely hope to be open by mid july at the latest. In case anyone is interested, here is a breakdown of what we have so far;

around 30 pins, mostly ss
around 25 cocktails, mostly generic midway types, with a few dedicated
around 25 em arcade games
around 100-150 vids, with a core of around 75 good , dedicated classics
a bunch of crappy countertops ( 40 or so)
around 21 playfields ( going to be wall art)
a few rarer boards, like pong( original), journey, tapper ( N.O.S.) ,with the exception of tapper ( have one), would like to try to build a pong cab, and transplant the journey board into a journey cab
A bunch of home systems, from the 70's on up ( What I am going to finish collecting next)
a bit of a collection of posters,manuals, printed memorabilia, etc.
a bit of a collection of bezels, cp's and marquees ( Guy promised to sell them to me for cheap, have to talk to him) soon)

and that is about it for now...
