So how many non-locals are actually traveling for this (i am)? Should somebody rent out a conference room for a pinside meetup?

Quoted from MrArt2u:

Speaking as someone who has purchased at several similar estate auctions, you don't have to worry about "pinball people" bidding the prices sky high. It's usually the non-pinheads, you know, American pickers/storage wars watching folks, who bid these things to astronomical prices.

Yeah, that's mostly what I'm worried about. It only takes one clueless guy with bottomless pockets to suck the fun out of it for a lot of people.

Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:

If you had beer, I'd come. Sadly, water isn't worth the trip.

Yeah, that reminds me, i meant to ask whether there would be "refreshments" (free or otherwise) available at this auction?

That always makes them more fun, imo.

Quoted from Damonator:

No - Bryan's recommendation would be the best course. And fyi, our liquor stores are closed on Sunday, so plan accordingly.

Ok, will do.

Yeah, looks like there's a decent crowd waiting already. I'm up at the pizza place having a beer till noon.

One of the perks of traveling without the wife is that i can eat pizza two meals in a row.

Quoted from Ericpinballfan:

Jalapenos and meatballs?

Alfredo, bacon, ham, sausage, meatball, and jalepeno. Quite good. Quite filling. I've slowed down dramatically and still have two pieces left =/

Quoted from hassellcastle:

We know who to blame for crop dusting today in the auction hall.

Hey, if it will get rid of some of the competition, you gotta do what you gotta do

#264 6 years ago
Quoted from NicoVolta:

They’re doing “buyer’s choice”. Ffffffffffffffff.
Five at a time. Highest bidder gets first choice and can optionally buy 1-4 more at same price.
Bidding then continues for the rest. Not a fan... but oh well.

Yeah, that does suck.

So does anyone know who got the $100 for driving the farthest? I thought i was maybe in the running, but completely forgot to ask.

Great to meet everyone!

Quoted from slawnski:

I just asked my wife if she heard but she didn’t. How far was your trip? I’m logging 572 miles each way

Don't recall exactly. Definitely over 800 one way.

Quoted from NicoVolta:

Met lots of cool Pinsiders today including nman here who was the winner of the rare and pretty Paradise woodrail.
FYI... it was not cheap!
Also... guy behind us appears to be attempting a photo-bomb. Not quite, my friend... not quite.

Very nice to meet you as well.

I've already decided that the Paradise playfield looks a bit bare though and have started working on my first playfield mod. Just need to install some led eyes and it should be good to go.

Man, with all of the conspiracy theories about this auction being tossed around, I'm starting to think it might qualify for inclusion in this thread:
