aw that bastard has some daaaaaaaaaaaamned good iddish!

mike you bidding on anything?

[twistedsymphony]

no way... arcade machines are expensive and I would suspect perfect condition lightly used machines previously owned by the world famous king of pop would be even more expensive.

Brand new pinballs fetch $5K and those sim machines like DDR and other crap are 12K a pop new... I don't even want to guess what these things will fetch at auction.

I agree, and a lot of those machines are the Deluxe versions as well. I've checked out a few arcade machine distributors sites and some of them retail brand new at £25,000+

I would think the prices can expect to be doubled simply because of their previous owner. And I would expect a Certificate Of Authenticity to be included in the sale as well!

I know that if I had that kind of cash, I would most definitely have an arcade in my house alongside the indoor pool and cinema etc!
