MYX:
If you are going to sell they take %13.9 off your winnings too.

From the Super Auctions Site:
How much does it cost to sell my items?
We're proud to offer the lowest rates in the country!  Bring us 15 pieces or more and our commission is only 9.9%.  Bring less than 15 pieces and pay only 13.9% * commission.  Each item will be charged a $14 entry fee.
* CA customers- 16.9%

I did a calculation in excel and I just left it as all sellers brought 15 pieces
$101,465.00 Total sales that I wrote down. This does not include pool tables, megatouch, redemption or gambling games.
$13,190.45 From buyers 13%
$10,146.50 From Sellers 10%
$23,336.95 They made at least.
But they have to make a living.  :-\
Witchboard:
Hmm.. the local guy here that has auctions on occasion doesn't charge sellers anything, at least when I asked.  I guess that's the "good 'ol boy" mentality we have out here in the middle of no where.  ;D
RetroJames:
WORST.

PICTURE.

EVER.


Ugh. I ALWAYS blink which is funny because MYX didn't even use a flash!!!!

Anyway, it was great getting to meet some BYOAC'ers finally and the auction was a blast.  Wish I could have stayed longer and actually purchased a game or two, but I had to rush over to Home Depot to pickup some hardware to mount my 25" monitor in a Dynamo cab I am working on.

By the way, here is a better picture of me for future reference as well as a snap of the new RetroBlast / GameRoom tokens I was handing out at the show. If you were at the auction you may have seen these placed on marquees and control panels throughout the show.

At least once someone was following me scooping them up as fast as I put them down so someone has a real stash of these now!

Hiub1:
Man, I am so jealous. I think it is a good thing that I didn't go, because I would have ended up buying something that won't fit in my house, haha. Were they selling any parts at all? Anyways, next auction I need to find out early when it is so that I can get off work and go for once and for all.
MYX:
Hey the tokens are awesome. I got about 5 or 6 then I found a handful of tokens from some arcade in the hydrothunder game I was looking at. When I looked in the Congo Bongo to try to coin it up, there was about a dollar in change. Hey it nearly bought me a coke. It's funny. I remember CB being a heck of a lot harder and cooler when I was young. It seemed very slow and easy at the auction. The moving people finally called and will be delivering the stuff tonight after 6pm.
