Bids are closed

20 Dec '22

I’m closing bids on everything except Burgertime, as I’m pending a response from someone who expressed interest in it without making a bid. If you have winning bids, please contact me with the total and when you can pick-up. With the holidays upon us, I completely understand if you need to delay, but please try not to delay too far into January. Whatever doesn’t get paid for and picked up will fall to the prior bidder, and if that doesn’t come through either, then I’ll be start posting stuff on KLOV and eventually eBay in January.

Final bids - Ashdown Arcade sale
by Pete Ashdown 19 Dec '22

19 Dec '22

Today is the final day to get in bids. I’m running this more like a standard in-person auction than an eBay auction. That is, any bid will extend the bid deadline, rather than having a hard close like eBay. Also, there was some question on the Defenders. All of them are for sale, but they have a minimum of $800. There is one without a monitor that I’d be happy to get rid of for much less, or send it out the door with another one for parts. One of the Defenders has a silver coin door and is currently functional. A friend who helped restore it, has asked for it, the rest are up for grabs.

Game Over sale details

09 Dec '22

1. I’m having an open warehouse from 2-4pm on Saturday the 10th and 17th. The warehouse is located at 1440 S 700 W, SLC. Turn right before the old La Frontera and go all the way west on the driveway. It is the last warehouse on the row, on the north side of the driveway. Has a big 1440 on it. 2. Bids close on the 19th. 3. If you need to pick-up before Christmas, I can make arrangements to do so, but otherwise plan to pick-up before the 30th. 4. The “Warehouse” location takes priority right now. The “XMission” location is less pressing, but I’d still like to clear those out. I’ll have other stuff at “XMission” available in the coming months. For example, for some idiotic reason I’ve got eight Asteroids. I’m going to frankenstein one together into the nicest example, and then I’ll get rid of the rest later. 5. I reserve the right to cancel any bid and take something to eBay for final resolution. Please forward this any friends and to all the lists that I don’t participate on.

Game Over
by Pete Ashdown 08 Dec '22

08 Dec '22

After 25+ years of collecting, my interest in either running an arcade or maintaining my collection has severely waned. The cost of leasing/owning a warehouse has become quite prohibitive recently, so I’m in the process of unloading my collection. I am approaching local collectors in Utah first before opening it up to the Internet large. All serious, reasonable offers will be considered, with preference given to people who are willing to take multiples. That said, I am intimately aware of the value of some of these games. $800 for Electric YoYo or Cloak & Dagger is not going to fly. Email me directly, and feel free to pass this list on to other local collectors. I need to have the warehouse cleared out by the end of January. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gwX5tMn-FPAvrFhVp7xQkcTWzcwPZgVOjyb… Ashdown Arcade for Sale docs.google.com
