Why would more space cause someone to fire sale their inventory? Oh, that's right, this is an ice sale.
Quoted from Magic_Mike:
Is this a silent auction?
HA! No, this is his shop and he moved to a different location. It's his store.
Just thought I would help a friend out. He doesn't advertise out here, so I thought I would. 
And yes, I think the Pepsi machine is for sale! He normally gets older Coke machines on a regular basis.
To be honest, I don't understand the negative comments (fire sale, ice sale, ect) 
It's just a sale and he has one every weekend. I've bought many machines from Mike for great prices, so if there's something there you guys want, contact him. Is he going to have any $200.00 machines...no, because they are shopped out by a pro. So like the ad says, $600.00 and up. I've bought Dodge City, Old Chicago, Abracadabra, Hurricane, Time Machine, Hollywood....and that's just the games! I've bought lockdown bars, coin doors, relays, switches, legs, glass, caps....on, and on...and that stuff is priceless, since I don't have to pay shipping! 
I hope the guys in the area come on out and support him. He's the only guy in town that has this type of selection.
I've also bought machines from Mike, and have had nothing but good experiences. He stands by his work, and is always willing to help me out with my machines. I've learned a lot online about this hobby, but having a local resource like him has been great for me be in becoming self-sufficient in pinball repair and maintenance.
We are some lucky pinheads to have a retail pinball store in town with a cool guy like mike to help a poor boy out from time to time with repairs and hear a few storys of nitro funny car drag racing He has brought countless pins back from the dead for many a family to enjoy good luck to mike with his new location

Any idea how much his whirlwind is?

Some of the negative leaning comments is due to your original post being a bit confusing if you don't know who or what this is... someone moving to a bigger place then deciding to "sell it all" is an interesting situation.
I think you have confused the word "collection" with inventory, IMO.
I also don't understand why more space means he is selling all his games??? I would assume he lost his space if he selling all of his games. Am I misunderstanding this???
Mike moved to a bigger location with a larger showroom so he is able to display all of his machines he has for sale. That being said I have bought/sold/traded with him for some years now and I feel that he is a great seller with a passion for this stuff much like myself so I would recommend him to anyone even if you just want to go play some games and shoot the breeze with him.
Mike is a super nice guy and an honest dealer. He saved me a trip across state for a TSPP that was sold hours after I had inquired about it. Not every pin reseller would do that.
Nothing but positive things to say about Mike and the others that work/associate with him.
He lined me up with my holy grail pin (Indy Jones) even though the deal was with someone else.
Lots of really good pin guys running around the Omaha area.
