Well, I'm no pinball expert by any means but since your auction is so close by and in just a few days I'd definitely wait.  There is no guarantee on the quality of anything sold at these auctions, however, and once you win a machine it's yours. 

From the few superauctions I've been to you have to be very careful what you're buying (as far as pinballs go).  The ones I've seen looked very good but after playing for  abit you realize some bumpers don't activate, relays don't respond, some get stuck, etc.  Just be careful and test!

At the OC auctions, I've only seen the working pins go for High $$. Usually the working machines have gone for over $1K in my experience, though a few go for less.

People in OC have too much money.

Here is one in CA for $250. Respected collector as well. Of course, it is probably gone, but...
