Whatever happens, don't let this go the way of PAPA. There were many people who would have helped out to keep PAPA/pinburgh going, and instead it was closed down without even the opportunity given for the public to help.
There are many in the pinball hobby who don't want to see us lose another public collection of this magnitude.
With respect to all those involved, this whole thing is really dumb--another big collection gone with almost no forewarning. Why do all the people running these big collections wait until the very last minute to decide to give up and shut everything down. Why not do like Tim at the PHOF, and actually reach out for help before it's too late, and with an actually achievable solution?
Makes no sense to me.
Quoted from chuckcasey:Sorry it's taken this long to provide an update but I didn't have much to add until specific deadlines had passed and final decisions had been made.
Last night I was fortunate to have dinner with the Museum of Pinball owner and management team which included the owner John Weeks. Here's what I can share:
All deadlines have passed to relocate, obtain a sponsorship, sell to one collector, etc.
Therefore, all the games will be auctioned in the upcoming months.
The official announcement will be fore coming.
You can bid online and/or in person.
The primary auction will take place in Banning at the Museum of Pinball.
Pins and vids are being sold via auction only. The collection is "locked" for the auction.
My next post will include auction details (dates, times, schedule, links, etc.)
To everyone who has ever attended one of our events, we thank you!
And a VERY special THANK YOU to everyone who volunteered at the Museum.
If you have questions please PM me. I answer all my PMs the best I can with the information I have.

Curator - Museum of Pinball
Won't it take just as long to auction all the games off, as it will to do any of the other solutions?
Quoted from MrBally:Go to The Captain's Auctions site for actual details.
Based on the amusement game and other auctions I've attended, usually there is a 13-20% "buyers premium" added to the hammer price. Cash is King for payment, otherwise, add another 2 or 3% for credit card payments. Don't forget the Morongo Valley sales tax rate of 7.75% unless you are a reseller and can prove it. Some high-dollar auctions (think Barrett-Jackson) will accept a credit letter from your bank allowing you to write a check on the spot based on your assets there.
You usually have a few hours after the auction ends to remove your "winnings". If you bid and win on an early item up for bids, you'll have lots of time to get the stuff out. If you bid on one of the last items, pay and back up the truck. Since this will be an internet and in-person auction, you can the chosen shipping company crate and ship your winnings. Fees may apply....
Also, shipping through Captains is insane, like 1200 or something for one pin. So you gotta be able to arrange your own transport day of sale.
