Looks like the captain landed the boat this trip, a ton of re-imports listed.

I can't make the auction, family stuff, but from people talking about it I'm betting it will be well attended.

I can't make the auction - I'm out of space.

Picked up a very nice looking TOTAN this week - which means I don't have to be tempted to see just how good or bad the one at the Captain's is. Or get suckered into anything else while I'm there. There is certainly a bunch on the list for this weekend that I could be tempted into.

Good luck to anyone who goes to bid. Don't forget the Captain's Tax and the Governor's Handout.

That too! I'm actually over capacity by one game until the buyer can come pick up my Sky Jump.

Wish I was closer, some great titles to be sure. Would love to see the hammer prices when all is said and done.

18% buyer's premium! Ouch!

15 percent premium for a local buyer. Another 15 percent for the seller. Captain has a good 30 percent rake! Governor's handout is at least another 8.5 percent or so.

I can't make the Auction either and I too am technically out of space, but there are some really nice older games there. So, for the extra 3%, I will be bidding from the comfort of my own home!

The entire main warehouse is filled with only Pins other than some old arcade stuff up front. Its truly a sight to see.

Looking for a Tommy, but at 26% fees...no thank you.

Jealous. Good luck with auction. Looks like some great machines for sale. And with that it is time for the old and trusty..... "Wish I was closer"

I am using these same excuses to justify not going to this one, but it will be interesting to see how this one plays out. I have really gotten to like the Captain and his crew as they are nice people that throw a fun auction.

Anybody that wants to take in the action without signing up can do so by viewing as a guest which is what I will be doing since I am at work. Yeah, I work real hard. lol.

Seems awfully quiet in here for such a big sale. Maybe you all are just basking in your new pin glow.
Thanks for posting up the cheap seats link o-din.
Really cool watching it. ..realized how many games there are out there I never heard of.
Just saw a $150 Yukon go by...

Anyways....someone here must have scored a machine or 2 by now - yes? What'd ya get??

I thought most of the older pieces (EM and early SS) were pretty low for So Cal pricing. A few shining stars went for better than normal prices. And, most of the DMD games went pretty high comparatively speaking (IMO).

The Yukon had a pretty toasted backglass and playfield was a bit rough. Certainly, the rougher older games did not command any high prices. I was shocked some rather collectible stuff was also fairly low.

Curious to know what the Midway Sea Raider Submarine game sells for.

Ken

Do you mean Sea Raider? $750.

I thought there was a Submarine there too but don't see it on the bidspotter catalog hammer pricing.

It's in the 1st pic on the far left. $750?

One of the bigger surprizes was the GTB Hoops pin that went for $2000 plus fees and taxes.

Hard to tell online the condition of the older EM and S/S pins
but some went for fairly cheap.

Question for Dave Miner

About how many pieces did you have in the auction
and did you feel it was worth it?
i.e. make enough $$$ so as to not lose your shirt (much).

Sorry, I read your post too fast. My mind focused on "Submarine" not the Sea Raider part. So, after I went back to see what was in the online catalog, I only saw the Sea Raider and yes, it went for $750.

I was there earlier in the week and I would swear I also saw a Midway "Submarine" which is what I thought you were asking about:

I know at least one game got pulled since it was found to be incomplete at the time. So, it is also possible other games were pulled for a future auction?

Thanks for the confirmation.

I have to say, a lot of the games were in stellar shape.......it was a fun auction!

That's good to hear, since I grabbed four of them, based on pics alone. I considered the pricing fair even adding in buyers fee and currency exchange. Checking pricing in my local area still saved money. Also now have a road trip with a reason!

Yes, most of the prices were very fair....some great deals and very few overpriced.
