Considering a trip to broomall auction, what to expect?

Hey guys the broomall auction this saturday is about an hour from me. Is this worth a trip?
My interests are older games for the most part. Would like to find a pin a good price too.

Do you get to try the games?
See them work at least?
Will there be alot of machines there?
Do games usually sell for more, less or equal to real world value?

I'm not against an impulse buy of some sort, you know something i wasn't really looking for but like, but i'm not going to try and fill my house or spend money on games i really don't want just because they are cheap.

I did some searches and didn't find too many opinions, so any input or advice is appreciated.
 
I don;t want to crap on this....cause these auctions need to be supported up here.....but i am going ot have to voice a few feelings

i went to one of the first ones at the ice rink. i got screwed out of a star trek that i won for 10 or 20 bucks. i won it but they listed it as another buyer. talked to jamie afterwards and he was going to bring it up to my area cause he has a place in the poconos but never heard back from him after i told him i was completely interested in it.

last auction he had items listed that were NOT there when i showed up. if i am driving 2-3 hours to go to this to find out that items advertised aren;t there especially when those items were the ones i was going to pursue.

i know he is gaining footing so i'll support it....i may not show thou this time.
 
I only went to the last one and since he listed a bunch of stuff on here that wasn't there I'll never waste my time again. Dishonest.
 
anyone that has been in the past, roughly what percentage of the games at auction are 80s/early 90s era?
 
I answered his CL ad last month and he sent me this from his iPhone:

I have hundreds of games. I'm also home in bed not in my warehouse.
I also get more in every week. If you know what your looking for let me know.

I want to say I got another email with prices but I must have deleted it. Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me. I know it wasn't playing tricks on my when I read his posts on here about all the great crap he'd have at that auction and how when we got there, it was nothing but and not much form his list. He didn't even post a follow up explaining where everything was or an apology for making people drive for hours... And I also noticed he didn't advertise this one on here.

Don't waste your time. First off, whatever he tells you is going to be there never is. The last auction was a joke.

The games are all pretty beat. The decent sell or way too much.

As much as I want to see auctions up here, these are not good.

I live close by so I stop by every time but don't expect much.
