I finally got off my butt and posted the raw pictures from the May 29th SuperAuctions in Mesquite. The link is: http://s949.photobucket.com/albums/ad338/YellowDawg56/SuperAuction May 29 2010/

I don't know why, but their stupid albums end up backwards so the pictures are in reverse order. I need to work on that. But at least they are posted.

This is what the truck looked like in the daylight the next day (I got in a 3:30am so no "just got home" pics):

I haven't seen any of these before, but that looks like a really good turnout of machines. There was an auction a couple weeks ago about 5 hours away from me and there were only maybe a dozen games there.

I'll have to try and plan a trip around one of these.
 
Nice games there, all we get at Wisconsin auctions is beat up CRAP
 
So you picked up that joust! Seemed like a great deal!

No, this was a Joust cabinet I made a side deal on and picked up during the auction.

As to the number of machines there, this was about 3-4 times the number of machines at a normal auction. Most of them came from a couple of large gameroom bankruptcies.

And yes the prices were very good, especially if you stayed to the end.

Talk to SmokinFish. He bought it from me as a side deal. It wasn't at the auction.


again with the staying to the end part... Just going to keep rubbing that in!

UGH! ;)

Everybody knows that the best deals happen about 3/4 of the way through an auction. The big money (and crazy prices) happen up front. Once the pins go, most of the money is tapped out. Thats why the pin row is usually 2nd, people still have money and they have been warmed up watching the video game deals, so they bid more. There is also a frenzy at the end when people try to empty their wallets. The key is to hang in to about 1/2-3/4 of the way through. People get bored and leave. People run out of money and cash out. People try to save a "little bit for the end" and stop bidding. The last couple of video game rows, there were only 1-2 bidders for each game and we would try to start it at $5 to $10. That's why some of the games went so low.
