There was this one guy who was selling numerous pinball games. During the preview time of the auction my friend and I were looking at a pinball machine that my friend was interested in buying. The seller told us, "If your interested you should buy this machine." We asked him a few questions and the auction started. About 2 hours into the auction they started auctioning off the pinball machines. My friend started bidding on the pinball machine he liked and ended up in a bidding war with the seller of the machine! It didn't make sense. I understand the sellers want to make a certain amount of money on an item but this particular guy ended up buying back all his machines. :dizzy: I guess my point is that he should just put the pins on Ebay or Craig's List if he has a specific amount he wants to make on the machines. Sometimes you can find better deals other than at the auctions. Like pinballjim said, the pins end up costing the same amount for what you find on other online auction/classified sites. All in all, the auction was fun and there are some definite deals to be found, especially on the CABS. It seemed like this past auction had some really good deals. Not sure when the next one is but you can bet I'll be there. Seems like Super Auctions frequently stops in Milwaukee. |
