I can't make this one. Two auctions a week apart, and I only have about $150 budgeted. So I am going with the St. Louis auction because it is closer and I won't be out a bunch of gas money in a truck if I don't end up buying anything. Although I am hoping to pick up a 13" vid poker cab for the monitor. I am crossing my fingers, hoping there will be one with good looking garbage on the screen (messed up boardset, but good monitor), so that I can get it for $25.

By the way, if I get what I am looking for, then the cab will be available in the parking lot at a rock bottom price.

Other things I will probably be looking for is just more weird stuff. More minis, maybe a weird (but small) redemption game. I usually only buy the rock bottom priced stuff though, so it all depends on what is there, and if I can get that crucial $25 or $50 bid in.

Hopefully Mr. Do will be there. If he is, then most of the games in the first row will be his, and that means they will go for HIGH prices, and then most of the people will go home before the real deals come around. I never buy stuff in the first row anyway, although I ALMOST snagged a nice Mr. Do's Wild Ride for $75 out of the first row a few years ago, but someone else went in for $100 at the last second, and I didn't want to go $125 on anything that early in the auction.

yeah, i know what you mean by it's tough having 2 auctions on back to back weekends. if they weren't the last ones our area is gonna see in a while i'd skip one of them too. plus i've got a friend coming into kc that weekend so it's going be a little road trip of it's own. i'll keep my eye out for cheap cabarets with working monitors.

spaced invader, if you end up going look me up. i'll be a guy with a goatee and wearing a tan baseball cap. i'll  probably be spending most of my time near the lesser machines(i'm looking for a cabaret project, and a trashed turbo with working boards to be specific). although during the preview period i'll be all over the place.

Looks like I'll be going too. I just got transfered to a another wing (work at a mental hospital) and I'll have more say in when I work.

I'm looking for a cabaret too...can fit more machines into my gameroom. I'd rather have several small machines that do something specific well (ie. 4-way vertical) than one monster machine that does everything half-a$$ed.

Anyway, I'll be the short stocky guy with the shaved head, 2-3 days worth of beard growth, silk shirt , and really sweet sunglasses (I'm sooo cool).  

I'll be with my not so cool brother.  

Oh, my names Brad...hope to see ya there.

we need to make sure we don't compete over the same cab.

Why do I always read about auctions a day or two after they happen.
