yup. guess they figure if you bid you can't skip out without bubba getting a chance to break your knees that way ;D
RayB:
The auction I go to makes you fill out and sign a form (address, phone number, sig) but I don't recall ever showing ID, so I guess technically, if I'm paying in cash I could buy anonymously...

Lessons Learned from the last auction:
Bring an Extension cord in case you want to power up a machine that is away from the powered machines. There were two rows without power at the last one.
Bring a flashlight, great for peaking in to see if a board is even in the thing or if its the right board.
bring some quarters :laugh2: , sometimes cabinets are locked so you can test them to see if they play blind unless you put a quarter in...

I second this. The preview time wasn't really preview because so many freekin' switches kept blowing.
Also, bring a hand cart (furntature dolly) in case you pull the trigger on a machine. They will not help you get it out of the building unless you slip someone a 20 or something.
Bring a digital camera as well, 1.) makes for a more interesting read should you buy one 2.) you can take pictures in case you decide you are going to build it from scratch.
good luck
