Wish I could but I will be out of town.  :'(

DarkKobold:

I'll be there. With a friend. I had some devious ideas to get those rat-bastages to practice legitimate auctioning techniques. But, those are best saved for inside my head.

legitimate auctioning techniques??????  Anyone want to give me the scoop on this comment

OSCAR:

I was planning to go if I get the day free.  I was a little disappointed with the last one, not much there as far as "good" games, mostly converted and generic jamma games.



DarkKobold:

Paige had a great page on his website about the auctioning practices of super auctions.

1st, they bring "Mr. Do Rag" To a ton of auctions in the midwest - he shill bids and then the items move on to the next auction - according to ebay - this is a FELONY in some states:

2nd, The auctioneer will do fast talking - raise the bid with no one bidding - this causes confusion and misplaced bids. He can force a person to start a bidding war - with themself!

I can't remember any more.
