Quoted from MtnFrost:

how many pins sold so far? in 45 minutes?

One and a half??

#968 2 years ago

Even Mr. Tuckey runs a smoother operation than this.. and that's saying a lot!

#980 2 years ago

I feel terrible for everyone involved in this mess. Such a waste of peoples' time.
It's 2021 and they can't even get a fast internet connection.

Unreal

(perhaps not a bandwidth problem after reading the post above?)

#1028 2 years ago

Use to see King Kool for $200 on FB marketplace and it would never sell. This one doesn't even look like it works.

#1047 2 years ago

Yes! I won Big House!!

jk, that game is junk.

#1610 2 years ago
Quoted from LTG:

OOOoooo all the games are museum quality. Famous words to start the next round.
LTG : )

"Museum quality" Bid with confidence people!!

#1655 2 years ago

1959 seems to be the "minimum reserve" of this auction.

#1717 2 years ago

We have a wild Saturday night planned here! I printed out the pinball lots for tonight and we're going to write down our guesses for each and see how close we are. We're crazy kids I tell you!

#1983 2 years ago
Quoted from EJS:

What did Tommy go for? Last I saw was 4K that seems really low compared to everything else.

9k

#2172 2 years ago
Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

Stuff is really starting to drag and they’re stalling so hard

Yeah... I'm fading fast. It was really entertaining a while ago, but not so much now.

#2187 2 years ago
Quoted from oliviarium:

Sorcerer is the deal of the night so far. "Only" $3400!

Too much, but cheap compared to EM sold a half hour ago. No Sorcerer love there!

#2248 2 years ago

For every 3 or 4 Marylins I see 1 Lola.

#2252 2 years ago
Quoted from oldbaby:

Really? That's odd. Are you sure you don't mean that the other way around?

Yup!

#2261 2 years ago
Quoted from EStroh:

Supposedly Williams told the Monroe estate that they only made 100, so that they could minimize their liability for using her image. In fact, they make MUCH MORE than 100. Maybe half were actually Marlyn's.

over 100 Marylins have sold here just in the past few years! lol

They made a LOT more than 100.

Just seems that I've come across Marylins way more than Lolas

#2266 2 years ago
Quoted from Heretic_9:

Nor I. How much did they alter the likeness ?

Blonde hair to reddish/brown hair on backglass and playfield insert was the only thing I noticed (and ROM change)

#2277 2 years ago

Bad Cats is a fun game! No multiball needed.

#2292 2 years ago
Quoted from adol75:

Hardbody coming, first one below 2k ?

Might we remind you a Bronco went for over $4k! lol

#2324 2 years ago
Quoted from MtnFrost:

What number is the cutoff then?

426

#2806 2 years ago
Quoted from Knxwledge:

I like how people are just absolutely defeated and have stopped posting the sold prices here. Day 1 actually gave me a migraine, Day 3 is better than any TV show or movie out right now

It IS entertaining!

#2809 2 years ago
Quoted from Knxwledge:

Watching the hobby I love get absolutely demolished in front of my eyes is entertaining in the kind of sadistic, snuff film type of way

What???

People are buying games. They're overpaying, and don't care.

Doesn't affect anyone, or the hobby.

#2814 2 years ago
Quoted from Knxwledge:

I hope you're right

It's been going on for as long as I can remember.

#2828 2 years ago
Quoted from Knxwledge:

What is your definition of destroyed? If Hooks start going for $6k on the reg I would consider that destroyed

I never said anything was getting destroyed. You did.

Prices go up and down. People with money buy stuff, and are not concerned with getting bargains.

People used to bitch about paying $2500 for an Addams Family. If IJ didn't sell at auction for $1200 they were thrown out.

This is simply a snapshot into the way wealthy people buy the stuff they want.

If you were the seller in this auction would you feel the same pearl clutching "destroying my hobby!!" way?

#3026 2 years ago

YAY! I just won a Vampire!!

(no I didn't)

#3037 2 years ago

It seems to me that they're spending $$ on the looks, artwork or theme of the machine.

Game play isn't even on their criteria list.

#3631 2 years ago
Quoted from NicoVolta:

Which lot# is the end for tonight?

FRIDAY SEPT. 24th @ 3:00pm PST (Lot #800 - 937)

#3660 2 years ago

Oh Lord, if these people are paying this money for the IP alone, what is Batman going to go for?

#3664 2 years ago

She is a bust

#3718 2 years ago

I hear Dave snoring while the bidding is going on

#3849 2 years ago

Didn't Gorgar and Big Guns taunt the players?

#4118 2 years ago

Sorry I said you were snoring, Dave... but you were.
