Rockwall, TX
Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:$150 each = $24,000. I doubt the local market can absorb 160 pins. You add $300 shipping and almost none are worth getting. It's a fine collection. I bet you'll see a bunch of them at TPF for $950 each. xerico will probably have a whole row of them for sale.
If I had $5,000 to spend at this auction, I bet I could get enough of these to have a row at TPF. 
If you are buying 3-4 of these machines, then it might be worth the trip and additional cost.
A 6x12 U-Haul trailer costs $40 each day and could easily fit 6-8 EM machines.
My only issue is that Tulsa is a good 5.5 hour one way drive from Dallas. Gas alone will cost me about $120-$140. If Rented a trailer, that would be another $40. I'm close to $200 without even guaranteeing that I would get a desired machine.
It's a risky proposition for sure. But some of those titles, especially the Pre-War bagatelles, are very tempting indeed.
