Hey, if your expecting an auction this Saturday as in the past. You better check the sites facebook page.
The website still has it as a normal auction. But in the facebook link, it looks like it has been switched to a online only auction for next week.
I think the Iowa gov. has limited gatherings to 50 people or less.

Why am I posting this? because I drive 6hrs to go to this auction every year. Didn't want others to make the trip for nothing.
I think you can view the games this weekend, but bidding is next week.

If your a regular at this auction, I will miss seeing you all. I like meeting people who love these games and spending time talking.
So make sure to check the facebook page, and if any of this is wrong, I apologize. Just trying to keep people from making unneeded trips.
That is all. Dismissed.

I miss going to this auction and look forward to attending again in the future. Guess I'll do the virtual thing.

I will still be taking a pong clone and a bull'seye.

We treat this as a night out of town and a break from the routine.
 
Yeah I saw the link that rod90 posted went down so I was curious if things were shaking up. I saw the post still up on Craigslist but hadn't gotten around checking elsewhere for the info
 
Auction is now live, but not up to date. BurgerTime with monitor issues. Complete tempest unplugged. Dk upright that monitor looks odd with 4 bd stack. Two addams family pinball that look good and boot but you can not start a game. Two warlords cocktails. One is garbled and the other unplugged. The sky shark in GORF looks familiar

Seems kind of light, even when compared to the last auction. I've been bidding on stuff here and there but not enough to commit. Kind of bummed at the lack of odds and ends but I guess it makes sense given the mostly slim pickings
 
The prices seem kind of low right now. Tomorrow around this time that will probably change.
 
If anyone here picks up the Warlords cocktail, I have a working pcb and I can meet at the auction.

Whats the deal with the House of the Deads? From the pictures they looked identical. One went for fairly high, but then the other went near the price that the Tapper went
 
Anybody capture the final prices? I wasn't able to check after yesterday morning. With the added fees and sales tax calculated-in most of what I was interested in was more than I wanted to spend--especially sight unseen.
