Kalamazoo, MI SuperAuctions 4/17/04
DarkKobold:
I'll be there - wearing an MSU t-shirt!

jimmyjet, it'd have to be one hell of a deal, but I might be able to work it out so that a cab could be stored in my dorm room.
... Actually, that probably wouldn't work well. Keeping a cab safe is a lot of responsibility and my dorm room is like a jungle--a very tiny jungle. I wouldn't be able to hide it, and people from all over the place would be lining up at my door... Sorry.

Gideon: thanks anyways. The weather looks 50/50 right now. I might just have to strap cabinets to the back of the van and hope it doesn't rain.

Okay, okay...so my entire family was sick on Saturday. I know that is no reason to miss the auction but the idea of traveling 2 hours hacking and coughing in the car to possibly get another BYOACer sick didn't sit well.
So for those of you who went, we all need the scoop. Please reply.

This was my first Superauction. I thought stuff was way overpriced (overbid?). First off, the auction started an hour late. The auction started with lots of skill slot machines which I know nothing about. When they finally got to the games, they went high. Seems like the first game was a ms pac for $1500. The nonworking games that I saw auctioned were over $100 for nothing fabulous (previously converted crap). Since the auction started late, I had to leave early, so stuff at the end of the auction could have been reasonable.
The Pins at the Zoo was great. I had a great time playing both old (70's) pinballs and new (90's) pinballs. I thought a few pinballs for sale were reasonable. I found out that I like the old pins with the tumbler style scoreboards (pre digital). These older games were less frenetic and generally more fun for me.
There was someone at the auction writing all the prices games went for in a notebook. I was hoping it was someone from here who would post "results."
