Did anyone happen to catch this yesterday?  I stumbled onto it from ebay part way into it.  Played around for a few hours but couldn't catch a deal.  I checked the completed listings and some deals were had, and of course, when I went away for a few hours and came back, there were more great deals, but I had no luck...  Anyone here score anything?

Oh, what it was:  An auction house in LA area was auctioning a ton of hollywood movie props for charity, but along with that they had a PILE of arcades/pins too.  Almost all the pins I saw went for very much at or above retail, but some of the arcades went for stupid low and others stupid high.  There was floor bidding, I don't know where, I'm in AZ, but there was a flurry of internet bidding via ebay and others. 

I just couldn't flip a deal, so no road trip for me.  Anyone else?

I was going to bid $2k each on a Twilight Zone and Addam's Family pins but passed in the end. There's no way I would have won at those bids.
