It's the soft, slow, sarcastic clapping of a job poorly done.

Nice! ;D

So tempted to drive up to Milwaukee this weekend (from Chicago), but I really shouldn't. I know I'd want to bid on something. Unfortunately 1. I have no way to transport the machine 2. I have no where to store it until I buy a new house (soon though) 3. I have zero experience.
It'd probably be a good learning experience though. The wifey has given me permission for 2 arcade cabinets, 1 pin and 1 juke. I've already built the juke, so its time to start looking at pins and arcade machines.

Chad, I cannot figure out if you're clapping because you think it's a good deal, or if you're just secretly picking on Drew's math. ;D
In any case, I think the correct math would be $550. :(

Meh.
The math, in this case, doesn't need to be correct to understand the point. If I had said he then had to pay $649, the fact that he needs to pay the winning bid price plus their % still is correct.
But my math, she is wrong indeed. I shall remember to think more betterer next time. Either that, or I'll now change my life goals to go into Engineering or Teaching.....but definitely not in Texas! ;D
ChadTower:
What I found amusing is that it was an ambiguous typo... if he put in 550, that would have made it correct, but so would have inverting the 10.

Thanks for the info, guys. We're trying to finalize a sitter for the kids so both my wife and I can go. If no sitter, probably me and my sons will make the drive. I'll call you either way, Drewrethra. We can connect with Raddish too.
