My first auction
<< < (5/5)

Okay, 125$ cdn including taxes and everything (includes gassing her back  up)....  My father in law actually went and picked it up several days after the auction and I wasent sure about how well it would fit in a pickup so I got a full cube van just in case.  I actually am not going there with a rental, it just so happens there is a budget and uhaul within 2 blocks.

I personally would never go there WITH a rental truck or trailer on the day of the auction. Cuz then you feel obligated to purchase something.

But I realize not everyone can take Monday off to go back and haul off their loot.

There have been so many auction questions there should be an FAQ.

I recommend that if you get a game, that you check it out on the inside to make sure it's secured.  A lot of times you lay it down in the back of a pickup, and if there is something loose, it will fall.

I had a game I laid down that had a loose speaker in it and it just happend to break the neck board on the monitor.

I had another where the monitor wasn't secure, and it could have fallen out.  

Take a cordless drill with you with a phillips tip and a 3/16" drill bit (for those locks with NO keys), and some 1" drywall screws.  Take the back off the machine and look for loose stuff.  TEST the pieces to make sure they are tight.  If they are loose either take them out or secure them with screws.

Good luck!
