laautomaten had many many MANY classic cabs on eBay back in 2000-2004. I got many of my games from there.

I remember they had an auction on eBay for 1200 old pcbs which sold for 280'ish euros when converted from DM.

Those were the days!

Yup....that was before I started collecting ;) However, even I had a short while when I was very likely to score something from Marktplaats without much "competition"...I don't regret a bit that that has changed though. I believe that sharing makes richer :) and it has proven to work lots of times in the past 7 years :)

Infact a friend that I bought many games from in Germany (he had his own warehouse and was called Tobias, not sure what has really happened as I know he still has a lot of cabs but I know for a fact he isn't in the German collecting scene) got a lot of stuff from laautomaten. He said they had barns when the games were stacked up sideways to the roof.

This was his warehouse he had on the back of his house!!




This is what it looked like (also this isn't the place, this is a cab warehouse in Italy that was then demolished to build new houses I heard..):
