I think most of the active members here are a fair bit more knowledgeable than the average, awake to these sorts of auctions, so maybe no-one really bothered going or paying too much attention?

Sorry, forgot to go - I had a rather busy day on Sunday and completely forgot about the auction.

Ah well, there is always next year...

What sort of Auction was it ?

Pinball machines and "memorabilia" - you know, when you've been around the hobby long enough, they are kind of all the same. At least the dozen or so I've been to have blurred into one long same and same again.

I usually go to the auction just to have a "sticky beak" - but what turned me off these "auctions" is the amount of machines that were "sold" on the day, but yet suddenly re appeared on the floor the next week or eBay.

Even Newbies are aware of these so called auctions by several dealers.

I went and caught up with about 10 mates,left after an hour. Arcades were dirt cheap,most pins had reserves.
