oh, omg.... this is the last thing I needed to hear. Derek, are you driving or am I? Better bring your trailer.
Saw that earlier tonight and was curious....Gorilla or Pinballer22, either of you locals have any additional info on this?
A. I never heard about it until now.
B..............I leave for Florida friday morning!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will check with pb22 asap.
I may have to leave a few $100s with him
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.
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???
Quoted from Pinballer22: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.
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
Quoted from ThePostmaster:If anyone goes, post pics & prices of what pins they had, and sold for.
WERD
Quoted from Pinballer22:I will take pics and try to track of all machine and prices.
buy anything you think worthwhile and maybe seen ya soon
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
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.
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
Quoted from dvandentop:Monopoly for 895 is a good price
He relisted the same pin on CL for 3k. jerk lol

I usually go but prices are generally too high in addition to buyers premium. The link above has pics and results of last auction.
