The auction may not be popular with the forum guys, but it may well be a huge success with Joe Public who will be a larger contingency at Expo than we will be.
So who do they cater for?? us??? Or reaching out to Joe Blow and getting him involved in the hobby.
Bingo,
poor old Joe public walks in not knowing the first thing about pinball machines but has fond memories of playing them as a kid.
Next thing hes paying way too much for a pin through lack of knowledge & getting caught up in the heat of the moment.
Gets it home, plays it for a while, does a bit of research & realises hes payed way too much for it.
This is exactly the type of client Auctions look out for.
Yes! I have been saying this from the start.........what a great way to introduce new blood, and promote pinball by selling joe public as-is auction overpriced pins.
rant off
