Toronto auction, anyone go?
<< < (2/3) > >>
RayB:
I'm sorry to hear that. Didn't they have 2 or 3 "junkers" (usually the first ones to go up for bid, in building 2). That's where I picked up mine for $50.

Chances are that guy you're talking about was bidding on his own stuff. It's not just rumour, there ARE shill bidders at Starburst auctions.

The best way to confirm this to you is to go to the very next auction. If you see lots of the same machines, well, there's confirmation.

"Fat gray-haired pony-tail man" is the one shiller many of us are already aware of.

Wow, I was thinking of going, but it was in the west end an I'm in the east. Leaving the house at 8:30 on a Saturday isn't my idea of a good time.

Now I'm really glad I didn't go!!!  I'm guessing all you guys are going to the game room show?  Do I have to pre-buy tickets or can I get them at the door?

Thanks,
Barranger

I Know who you are talking about (pony tail guy).  Im not too sure hes a shill, but he certainly bids on alot of stuff.  

My major beef with the thing is not starting on time.  What gives with the guy showing up at 11:15 and standing around with his thumb up his ass still 12:00.
Im not so sure that the auction time is supposed to be 11:00 , all I know is they keep starting later and later and then (if your like me and just brought a car) its hard as hell to get transportation because they try to close everything up by 3:00...

Anyways.  Ive got to go pickup that foodball machine this week.  What time are they open for during the week for auction picksups?  I hope you can pickup next saturday otherwise I am in some trouble..

5 i think, but don't quote me on that.  if you can't get it till next saturday you have to pay an extra 25$--that sucks :-\
