Battle Creek, MI
Make your drive to the PATZ auction, no fee's what so ever and no sales tax. Cash on the glass.

In this case there is no third party. Follow the link and you'll read what I mean. Hard to see much as far as games and stuff in these pictures but the crowd was there for sure and plus these were taken at the beginning part of the auction when all the small stuff is selling first, backglasses, playfields, etc...

Maybe to cover the cost of the venue and insurance? Anyhow, definitely a great deal when you consider how small a purchase one needs to make at these other auctions to incur an expense of $17! Seems like it would be a fun one to attend.
OK, yes there is a $17 entree fee to get into the show itself and I didn't realize it was that much but it gets you into the show for the entire day to play a hundred games all day long, check out vendors, be around other pinball people.....etc. If there was no auction the show would still go on without it. You can sell your game there on the floor without any hassle from anyone trying to get an extra dollar out of your pocket for doing so. If that fails, run it through the auction and see what the real market bears for your game and it wont cost you ANYTHING if it sells or not since you can put a reserve on the game but I'd say about 50% of the games sell during the auction and many others are sold right after the auction with a number the seller and bidder can both live with so it's a win/win. There is no other pinball auction like it, anywhere's.
