Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:This auction deserves its own documentary.
The market has been strapped to a rocket and launched into space.
and then turned into the Sun and exploded !
Quoted from LTG:Any parts seller. Manufacturer. Tech Support. Mod maker. These idiots will search Google for pinball and call any phone number they find for help.
LTG : )
On a positive note: I charge 4k for an in house service call on 10K Rockys.

Another pin on my list, not going to happen. Two bidders who then just drop out.
two man shill team working overtime
Quoted from Nintendosteve:Well I can tell you being a volunteer tech out there...
Yeah I figured each of these machines will need a gallon of Novus and a saddlebag full of fuses.
Somethings up when a non booting, missing sideart, no marquee DK cabinet sells for $2375 after fees and taxes. (lot 297)
EDIT: you can go the website and click on Catalog to see the winning bid for each title/lot
So Bidder 1863 final won a bid after bidding on 430 different lots
EDIT: I'll bet 10 bucks Stargazer "shows back up" next week.
Major stalling on that Freefall. Luckily bidder 1959 got it at 4K. He's been bidding all night - good for him.
usually At Auctions ...
18% buyer fee
10% seller listing fee
3% credit card fee (sometimes)
EDIT: In some cases you (as a bidder) can be unknowingly bidding against a house bidder that doesn't have to pay the 18% due to a prior agreement with the Auctioneer.
Quoted from o07eleven:Yeah, if it's a negotiated fee. It makes sense. Just doing the buyer fee is a way to get people to overpay and not factoring in 18% + 7.25% tax, so they just keep bidding and forgetting they have a couple grand in tax and fees after the sale is done. I just thought 18% buyer's fee would be enough of a fee for them, but I guess not.
This is my first Captain's but are people still paying market value for stuff and forgetting about the ~26% in fees/taxes? Or is just that this is such a highly marketed auction that shit's insane. Like, on any other day would a $5k market game go for basically $4k in an auction?
For example: If I bring 1 machine to auction, I can't fight the 10% entry fee, but if I'm bringing 10 machines, then I'm not paying the 10%in or the 18%out on anything I buy because that's the prearranged deal we've worked out before I even head to the auction house.
It's interesting that most of the lots today only had about 5 or 6 bidders. A repeating pattern of just the 2 pumpers and then about 4 new bidders in the last two minutes on each lot. I expected 15 to 20 bidders to be the norm. Maybe the arcades will bring out more bidder activity.
Quoted from palmab03:This could also just be how their software displayed multiple bids. You'd presume there would be 10+ people bidding $500-$2,000, for example. So it just picks the 2 highest initial bids and lists them.
You may be correct.
