Thanks for posting the pics and info - very interesting. I remember playing Gorgar back in the day. $375 for a working Gorgar in decent shape seems like a pretty good price to me. Of course, I've been known to overpay for my pins.

I see they had a bunch of those Megatouch type games. Any good deals to be had on those? I've been thinking about adding one to my gameroom, but brand new ones are shockingly expensive.

I can only imagine what it is like having video game and pin auctions within driving distance... Oh well, I imagine there are more pins here than in Alaska (where you have to fight the bears along with Sealclubber and Absocountry2 to get them)!

nice can one just usually attend these auctions? i am assuming they are labeled amusement auctions or something like that?

what are the terms of sale usually? cash or credit card?

Anyone can attend....There are two classifications....Buyer and Seller. Buyer's get screwed...10% buyer fee + 7% sales tax + 3% if you pay with a CC. Bring a cheap neon beer sign and register as a seller and you can still buy but avoid the 10% buyer fee. Find a retailer who has a Tax ID and avoid the 7% too. That's roughly it....The % may have changed a bit since I was there two years ago, but should still be pretty close.

Now for the inside scoop....Watch for seller shill bids. When a seller sells his pin he has to pay 10% upto $100 max. BUT, if he doesn't sell his pin, he only pays $10 and takes it back home. So alot of sellers bid on their own pins until they get it to a price they want...It's called a buy back and I'd say 75% or better of the pins usually end up that way. That's good and bad...Bad because you need to know the sellers and recognize buybacks. Good, because alot of times you can approach these sellers in the parking lot after the auction and strike a deal. They don't really want to load them back up again if they can help it.

I bet there are plenty of pinball machines in Alaska with all that oil money floating around. Try looking for pinballs in South Dakota. All those pheasants don't put any money in my pocket. Just do damage to my car.

Finding reasonably priced pins here is difficult, especially with all the competition, but you got think pinduck, that we have more machines on location here than probably anywhere in the world nowadays. So really, we are the lucky ones. We live in pinball eden!
