I'm in the vancouver area and I think i might go.  Message me if you have anything specific you're looking for or something that I might be able to keep an eye on.  I'm not 100% sure I'm going but i most likely will try to.

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

man! how the heck will I ever get another deal if everyone tells everyone about them!

>geeze, the nerve!<
 

btw, it's not like their annual  Xmas auction, it's going to be quite a few less machines,  far too many pool tables, and tons'o golf equipment..

wait'a'minute, they changed it into two entries on the 'upcoming auction' page..

looks like they expect to sell all the arcade games and pooltables from 10 am to 12pm and the golf store starts at 12 pm..

<"Golf"? Gak!>

I wish they had a "Midseason Arcade Auction" with a couple trailerfulls of Pacific Vending Machines old crap (not the DDR3 garbage they'll be selling on the 12th) Now that'd be worth checking out. )

I planned on going too - I had intended to go to the december one but the crap weather kept me home.  

Unfortunate to hear that it isn't expected to be that great, I'm just hoping to bring back something interesting.

I went, wish I hadn't.. no real steal-deals, 3 pins went relatively cheap, Nice dedicated caberet "time pilot" went for $100 (cdn) as did a pac cocktail converted to something-or-other..

if you wanted side by side cockpit games, (large and heavy! :-) you could've gotten some cheap.. several crappy tetris conversions went for somewhere around the $400 mark... (I mean *CRAPPY*! beat up cabs, nicked t-molding, torn paper/photocopied marquee..pathetic! )

Although a newer purple sit-at Merrit Megatouch MAXX went for only ~$350  ... It was worth WAY more than that..but too rich for my blood seeing as I don't have a bar to stick it in..:-)

I also didn't have room for the 32  coin-op Canada Post 6 foot tall stamp dispensers with bill acceptors/stackers they tried to sell (went down to $2.50 each, still no bidders..)

or the (qty-9) 12 foot by 6 foot snooker tables...
or several hundred golf clubs from nevada bobs..:-)

basically quite a bit of crap, and not enough of the right kind of crap to make a good arcade auction..

all in all, you didn't miss anything, they aren't like the ones we read about down in the US east-coast..:-(
