I have bought a couple pins from them in the past, but overall the quality of the pins is so horrid. VERY routed. I got my fishtales there for $1,200 and ended up putting $600 into it to make it halfway decent.

I hope ya got a nice deal!

Quite the sweet lineup of pins in the auction this time though! That prolly helped the deals. Normally they have about half that and the pins go market value, it's crazy/

My favorite item ever at that auction was a spiderman that went for $4,400. Fully and heavily routed looking. cracked ramp, just a mess. It was awesome! lol

Quoted from Rarehero:

The problem w/ the Captains Auctions (for locals anyway) is that they do online bidding - so anyone anywhere can get in on the bidding....so, there's just NEVER a deal like a true local auction. Plus, the owners of the machines are usually their bidding up their own stuff. What amounts to terrible prices for collectors who want a decently priced game to restore is a "good deal" for flippers and retailers who will clean it up and charge double.

Very true! However, I have bid in person and online. I'm fairly confident biggest issue is the shill bidding. Same few people always jacking it up and I've seen same pin in there twice in a row a couple times.
