I got a recorded message from Shawn (sp?) yesterday that the August 6th auction in Mesquite is on!

I will be driving up to drop off a game for a friend that day and will probably hang for a while. No money, no space, but when has that stopped me :D

Anybody else going to stop by and check it out?

Edit: This is the other game auction company (American Amusement Auctions, IIRC) NOT SuperDoucheBagAuctions.
 
I'm thinking of going but don't have enough space or need this time to rent a truck to take up there.... so not sure what my plan is yet for getting stuff back to Austin.
 
I'd like to go, but I still have an 8' long 400lb grill in the bed of my truck until the new patio gets built.
 
well im going to try and make it after i get off work..... so if i show up it will be near the end of the bidding but at the start of the check out. lol

Awesome, who's stuff are you volunteering to load?
 
Any suggestions on the best way of getting games back elsewhere in TX other than renting a truck?

I'm looking to see what the other options are, cause if I rent a truck then there is more of a need to fill it, which just results in me buying more stuff than I need and leaving less there for everyone else to buy ;)

Noel makes runs to Austin. He is pretty reasonable.

So you are volunteering to host the KLOV auction BBQ in the parking lot? :beerchug:

I knew there was someone that did that, but didn't know the details. My other consideration was in renting a U-Haul uncovered trailer. I'm not too worried about rain happening in TX these days... Question is, how safe is it leaving some pins and video games in an uncovered trailer overnight Sat as we wouldn't be driving back until Sunday.

I'm thinking of renting one of these and curious if others have left games in trailers overnight at the Mesquite Hampton Inn??

You can rent the 6x12 enclosed trailer for the same price as an open trailer

If I remember correctly it is 29 a day

Problem is the height is too low for a video game unless you lay it down at which point it takes half the truck. Gas mileage is also better with the open trailer.

That is why I was asking about the open trailers being in the parking lot overnight on Sat.
 
Should be fine leaving them in the trailer as long as you wrap them and strap them down pretty good. A couple years ago I brought some games to sell but didn't make it in time to drop them off Friday night so they stayed in the back of truck all night. They were still there the next morning :)

wrapped in what way?
 
Never been to an auction and don't think I'll make this one but I have a question:

Pissing contests ever arise between KLOV folks at these over bidding wars on a certain piece?

Just curious. . .

Not that I've noticed, if I know someone in the group is bidding on a machine I back off and vice versa. We all get along and just hang out :)
