Yes, yes it is.

Man, I hate to miss an auction with so many byoacers.  We could've all hit Hooter's afterward.  Flampoo, have some of the guys lookout for you in case they start shill bidding.  The big guy with 3 teeth is the worst auctioneer for upping the bid for you.  He'll say 50, you raise your hand, so then he'll say 100 (instead of 75).  If you win, he will say you got it at 75.  Happens all the time with him.  Make sure to correct him in the middle of bidding if you think he's done this.  NY_in_TX can tell you all about him.  Other than that, the auction is extremely fun (for us a byoacers).  You might want to bring a folding chair, it can get very slow when they are going through redemption.

There was a great thread a few days ago about this.  Read everything Paige said.  He has the auction nailed.

I've been to auctions before, mostly estate sales, just never for arcades. I'll probably be looking for a couple dirt cheap project cabinets. 
Good lookin' out!

Flack:
I'll be at the Mesquite one for sure. There's also an auction this weekend in OKC. I went to the last auction by the same people in OKC -- here was my review of it, if anyone would like to see it.

The highest selling item last time was a MAME Cab which went for $800. I kind of felt like approaching the second highest bidder and making a deal, but I didn't ...  ;D
