I saw that there is a Super Auction being held in San Antonio coming up August, 25th.
It is pretty close to Houston so I was wondering if anyone else is going?
For people that have been to these, do you get good deals and good prices?
"NO Minimum - NO Reserve!
200+ late model pieces.
Way to much to list!
All NEW Items were purchased exclusively for this auction!
Lots of 2006 & 2007 year machines.
Diversions Game Room is auctioning
2 separate facilities for this one day auction event.
Both facilities to be completely sold at this auction!
$750,000 Valuation"

houston and San Antonio are3-5 hours apart, depending on how fast you drive.
now I really wish I still lives in SATX
-
I'll be there...

:dizzy: :dizzy: :dizzy:
haw. WTF, I live in San Antonio now and didn't know about this. They must still have me on their Missouri list.
I'll probably be there. :)
Yeah, I signed up for the mailing list way back when hoping for a Houston one. Hell, they didn't even list this auction on their catalog. Just lucky I checked that email today.
If it isn't raining that weekend, I might try and make a trip over there.
-
I'll be there. Word on the Houston list is that the distributor that sold the place all their games will be there buying them all back, so there won't be any deals.
I think it's 4 miles away from my place.
What list is that?
-
Anyone have a truck that wants to split gas? I'm about 3 hours away in San Angelo and would go if I had a way to get the game(s) I bought back.
-
Dang! An auction within easy reach for me...and I'll be out of town that week... :badmood:
Xam
-
You could store the games in my garage. I just wouldn't tell you where I lived. ;D
:) Sure thing, after you send me $2500 via Western Union for these millions I have held in reserve in Nigeria for you...
-
Someone make a list while they are there for those of us that want to be envious...
-
Yeah.. and there better not be any cabaret cabs there like I was hoping to find in Mesquite!
-
Seriously, anyone from around that can car pool?
-
Anyone know what kind of prices to expect at one of these?
Or what different types of machines go for? Is this just a regular auction or silent?
-
EDIT: I'm gonna be a little helpful here... if you don't think it's worth it to rent a truck to come to this, you won't find anything there worth buying.
I'll fix this up for you so you sound less like a ---tallywhacker--- and more like a helpful BYOACer!
Thanks for the info, but I'd still like to go if anyone is heading that way, and although I can easily afford to rent a truck, I'd like to avoid that and go just for fun and to play games all day, with the option of buying one and coming back with it!
-
Then rent one if you need one when you get to San Antonio?
True enough, but I still need a ride down there or I'll be having to come back to get my car. It's OK though, not my first auction, not my last.
But I am thinking of buying a truck as a third vehicle just so I can do things like this, it sucks not having a readily available one. But then again, even if I did, I would ask for carpoolers to save on gas, good for the environment, good for the wallet.

I think there will be a cabaret Centipede...

Inside scoop? Let me know if you know of one in a decent shape in the area looking for a home.
