Anyone have the hammer prices for yesterday's auction in TN?? I heard there was some pretty good pins there.

From what I've heard there were tons of pins and definitely some great deals. GB pro with green armor for $5300. Good looking FG that played well for $500.

Family Guy for $500? Did you forget a 0 or was it a different title?
On pins there seems to be no deals really the arcade stuff is still decent prices. I've found that when it comes to pins I have got better deals on mr pinball, pinside, or local trade/deals. The auction pins seem to go for retail and arent as well maintained/as nice
Quoted from Gnatty:Are these auctions even worth going to anymore? Buyer buy backs along with auction fees etc. seem to make these auctions a waste of time to try and score any sort of deal.
No, they are not. They have not been worth going to for 10 years or more. I go once every 3 years or so now. Have not bought a single thing in 9 years. I do agree that some of the arcades are worth bidding on though.
Quoted from Skyemont:I have not been to a Auction in 7 years. If you want pins, the auction is NOT the place to go.
Might be a good place to find vids though but again the fees tacked onto the hammer prices make it look better than it actually is, so I don't know.

Sadly, this seems to be the case with most of the arcade auctions. I used to attend the Arlington one regularly. Haven't bought anything in years now. The phantom bidders still irk me and after you factor in the buyer's premium it's rare to get a deal. Much better chance of a deal with Craigslist alerts and contacts in the hobby.
