    sorta shitty notice on it not sure how good of games could be expected, any more info or can find out what games to expect. prob end up being like the one i went to in msp and had 1 shitty ass pin

    If the Sioux Crew goes I might need a proxy bidder. This might be the perfect place for me to get a starter pin dirt cheap.

    I always go and will be there this year...always a bunch of crap and never as many games as they say will be there! Usually 10 at the most for pins, a lot of buy backs. I buy a lot of pins and have never bought 1 for the auction if that gives you an idea what it is usually like.

    I hope I am wrong but honestly I wouldn't drive that far for this auction if it is anywhere close to the previous years. It has been awhile since it had a decent turn out.

    never been to one of these auctions, what is a 10.00% premium?

    #10 12 years ago

    Buyer premium means that whatever you pay for the machine you add 10% to the price. I.e. if you pay $1000 for a machine the buyer premium is $100.

    You guys think its gonna be worth a 6 hour drive lol???

    This is the only time I ever wished I lived back Iowa again!
    Goodluck guys on the auction

    #12 12 years ago

    If anyone goes, post pics & prices of what pins they had, and sold for.

    damn thanks for making me sleep better at night if you havent bought i know it really blows then!

    even if something good i wouldnt mind paying 2-300 more for saving me time driving down hoping something good there

    #17 12 years ago

    Went last night for the buy it now...only 4 pins and the one great deal was gone. Monopoly sold for 895. Had a roller games for 1000, and then a couple em's that didn't have a buy it now. Will be going this morning hoping something ne showed up but doubt it

    #18 12 years ago

    Keep us posted. Was kinda bummed I didn't go this morning. I also wasn't aware that there was a buy it now option last night either. Thanks for the uPdate.

    #19 12 years ago

    That sounds weak. What was the great deal.. the Monopoly?
    Keep us updated plz.

    #20 12 years ago

    monopoly for 895 is a good price

    seems like in this region most of the pins have worked their way from the routes into collectors hands or to the coast
