Title: Super Auctions MAME?
Post by: coachcarstens on March 26, 2005, 11:27:27 pm
Today I attended the Super Auctions auction in Milwaukee.  I thought I remember seeing/reading somewhere that Super Auctions was no longer going to sell MAME machines.  However, at the auction today, I believe there was 2-3 of them in the front row of the auction block.  With all of the recent copyright stuff, I was wondering where this sits with everyone?  It was my understanding that this was not cool/ no longer cool.  Help clear this up in my mine.

Thanks,

Chris

Personally, I think this topic has been played out.

Hey, how 'bout that?! :D  I hit the number on the head for our auctions!

Was this at State Fair Park?  Normally I get a phone call when they're coming, this one.....nothing!  I'm a little bummed I missed this one, I figured since they call me, I didn't need to check their site :(

Was you answering machine off maybe? Fred the older auctioneer calls me every time, I have yet to ever answer but he always leaves a message.

The funny thing is that I don't have that large of a list of people who regularly call me, and my phone files recent calls by the last 10 distinct names/numbers, so Fred from Superauctions is ALWAYS on my recent call list.

I gave 'em my cell number, because my kids tend to think they need to answer EVERY SINGLE FRICKEN PHONE CALL that comes into my house, and I didn't need the long distance charges ::)

I can see the area code, and never answer it, but check my messages from home.  Nothing.  Mebbe they just don't like me anymore :'(  ;)

Meh....there's another one coming day before my birfday....mebbe I'll find me a present from....myself ;D

Actually, I was not called this time either.  There was not even the normal signs pointing customers to the correct entrance, etc.  Also, even though I had been to auctions before, and won machines, I had to re-register, so I wonder if they lost some of their database or something?

How does an answered phone give you long distance charges?
