Awesome collection!!!

Incredible. What a fabulous collection and to share it with others....awesome. Love the drive in too. I need to relocate.

Buddy is a great guy. Always a pleasure when I get to see him.

Wow, I googled the location and these are uhhhhhh, not exactly easily accessible to the general population which is a nice way to say "in the middle of nowhere." An incredibly beautiful nowhere but oh well. Best wishes to Buddy in this endeavor and if I ever go to another Kingsport auction I'll leave early and try to check this out.

Just to verify, this is in Norton, VA correct?

Me: "Ok family, the movie is getting ready to start. I'm going to go in to get some popcorn "
two hours later....
Family: "What's taking Daddy so long to get popcorn"

Me: "ok family, here's a roll of quarters. Me and mom will stay in the car "
Two hours later....
Family: "why are the car windows fogged up"

Hi Don
Thanks for the great pictures! I have enjoyed out deals since you came and picked up Gyruss from the old cinema way back in 04 or 05 maybe even earlier. Oddly the hardest game I sold you was Carnevil and I was so glad to get that one back. I moved it back to the cinema so this Halloween season kids will still be enjoying it. I got a few pictures of the gang and will post them up.

I found a pin I have wanted since 1994 today so I am gonna have to sell something else get the funds. I lost out at the very end at the Brady open house to Mindboggle arcade chain for TAFG pin they were giving away. Next ticket number. I think I may have it now and of course its only double the original list price. Blair at Brady would never sell it to me even after offering 6500 then unheard of number for 1995. My salesperson was on break that week and never told me so I didnt know and when I did Brady sold all their allocation but the one being given away from Brady's 50th anniversary and Blair Norris 45. Good times so I would like to get that Addams Family Gold in their honor. Better late than never!

I am glad almost everyone could come out. I was hoping for a few more but maybe next time.

I am thinking of selling some or all of these older pins, many of the pics are in this thread.
Comet Nice overall condition 1200
High Speed good playfield 1200
Space Shuttle new CPR playfield installed and new space shuttle and plastics 2300
Viper Its been here a season and has earned ok but I feel I am hurting my crowd with the fake boobies so it should go. Not exactly cheap as I paid 1800 and need that or I can find another place to move it. I have a incredible pitch and bat restore in the house with all new chrome with base runners. I would take 2500 for it but you must help me move it on your end as it was heavier than a bingo pin.

Now for newer ones
A JJP Hobbit LE just one for 7500 with check being made to JJP as I have a customer who needs out. You will save 500 dollars at not be at the end of the line. My customers have gotten pins much earlier than some others.
Maybe Taylor in VA nice Whitewater restored with blue DMD this was an expensive restore and purchase but it looks fantastic 7500
A very nice non faded Fishtales from Pinlawyer with color DMD 3500 and nice clearcoated playfield.
Batman The Dark Knight Great pin picked up from Drew at the GPS store now just over 3 years ago. Its time it could go but I added sub and speaker kit and shaker so I like 4500
Another pin that could be moved is POTC with McKee topper. I enjoy this pin alot but I know I would the other even more so something has got to go, either POTC or TDK.

Last one Tron LE with every mod I can think of 11k I really like the new modded pro I picked up from California this Summer. I could never route the LE but I did move Skins Tron to route and it pops but still just out earns Freddie K. by 10 to 12 dollars. Go figure.

I am trying to decide which way to go York or Expo at present I am leaning York so I can go to JJP and pick up more WOZ pins which can also be sold.

Thanks for looking

Here is some of the group that came. My wife and I were very pleased. Wish those NC fellows would pitch in and drop by and try.
