What's a ballpark guess at how many sub $100 machines with good sideart/glass will be at the Milwaukee super auction? It's a 5-1/2 hour drive so I'm just wondering if it's worth it. I'd be dragging a trailer of course.
Mainly I'm hoping to grab 3-4 machines out of the non-working row that can be cleaned up enough to go into mine & my brothers houses. Think it's worth the drive?

At the one in december, if I remember correctly, only 3-4 total machines in that row went for under 100. that is what I was there looking for, and I came home pretty empty. I live in Elkhorn, which is about 45 min away from the auction. If you want more details, I'd be happy to share.

Nuts. That's what I was afraid of. Glad I asked though.

I would be willing to share costs to go down to the auction. If interested, email me at tsatorius@yahoo.com.

Cooter, if it'll help you, I'd be willing to let you buy whatever you wanted and store it at my house for several years or until you forgot about it, whichever comes first ;D
Seriously, though, I've been to the last 3 out of 4 auctions, and there aren't many that sell for under $100, but there ARE a bunch in the 200-300 range....I've seen very few that don't work - about 2-5 per auction.
I'll be going later that day....at LEAST not until 1-ish when they'll have those ridiculous slot machines sold off!

No, it's all over the internet, you can probably find upwards of a dozen sites with it, I just resized it
The Milwaukee Auction is on Saturday the 8th, dropoff of auction items is Friday night, open inspection from 8-10 Saturday morning, 11 for auction start - USUALLY tokens and slot machines, which usually lasts for about an hour, hour and a half depending on how many slot machines they have....everything else is after that.
Depends on what they've got, but I'm expecting a buttload of machines to be there this time.
Mebbe even one of those big swines like a 3-in-1 redemption machine again :o
