Super Auctions specializes in traveling from state to state holding astonishingly large auctions of arcade machines, pinball machines, jukeboxes, gambling machines and a jumble of other electronics related machines. You can even pick up one of those fancy grocery store heart monitor deals if you're of a mind.

I've been to a couple of these here in Atlanta and they are great to go to if for nothing more than just to see with your own eyes a collection of old arcade cabinets you wouldn't see anywhere else. But, unless you have lots of money at your disposal and the stamina to stand around for 4 or 5 hours in a crowd of people most of whom have never heard of a toothbrush, you are likely to go home empty handed and seething with jealousy. The average arcade machine in decent condition goes for around $500 - $1000 depending on the machine. So, if you are willing to give up that PS3 pre-order, you could probably walk home with a slightly peeling Pac-man machine for your very own home arcade.

If you are lucky enough to live in Costa Mesa, CA or Milwaukee, WI, there's one going on in your town RIGHT NOW! Make the jump for the full listing of show dates and cities for the rest of 2006. Flynn De Marco
