Super Auctions MAME?
« on: March 26, 2005, 11:27:27 pm »
Today I attended the Super Auctions auction in Milwaukee.  I thought I remember seeing/reading somewhere that Super Auctions was no longer going to sell MAME machines.  However, at the auction today, I believe there was 2-3 of them in the front row of the auction block.  With all of the recent copyright stuff, I was wondering where this sits with everyone?  It was my understanding that this was not cool/ no longer cool.  Help clear this up in my mine.

Thanks,

Chris

Hey, how 'bout that?! :D  I hit the number on the head for our auctions!

Was this at State Fair Park?  Normally I get a phone call when they're coming, this one.....nothing!  I'm a little bummed I missed this one, I figured since they call me, I didn't need to check their site :(

Was you answering machine off maybe? Fred the older auctioneer calls me every time, I have yet to ever answer but he always leaves a message.

The funny thing is that I don't have that large of a list of people who regularly call me, and my phone files recent calls by the last 10 distinct names/numbers, so Fred from Superauctions is ALWAYS on my recent call list.
Acceptance of Zen philosophy is marred slightly by the nagging thought that if all things are interconnected, then all things must be in some way involved with Pauly Shore.

I gave 'em my cell number, because my kids tend to think they need to answer EVERY SINGLE FRICKEN PHONE CALL that comes into my house, and I didn't need the long distance charges ::)

I can see the area code, and never answer it, but check my messages from home.  Nothing.  Mebbe they just don't like me anymore :'(  ;)

Meh....there's another one coming day before my birfday....mebbe I'll find me a present from....myself ;D

Actually, I was not called this time either.  There was not even the normal signs pointing customers to the correct entrance, etc.  Also, even though I had been to auctions before, and won machines, I had to re-register, so I wonder if they lost some of their database or something?

How does an answered phone give you long distance charges?
