Well I finally attended my first auction, and it was quite exhilarating. Held in Pennsauken NJ on September 27th , It only took me 1 ½ hours to get there so I’m sure to go to the next one in November, and of course I bought something so all the Workshop pictures are updated.

After reviewing the mandatory reading "Frequently Asked Questions about Buying Games at an Auction" and gathering all the "tools of the trade" together in a bag, I set out to be there early enough to get my full 1 hour preview before the auction time. Good thing I did too because I snuck in the back door and added and extra ½ hour to my preview time and had the opportunity to snap some of the pictures below undisturbed.About 10 cocktail tablesRows and rows of them

To the left are 1 of 4 rows of Video Games!

The picture to the right is all the cocktail tables.. Most of them were not in the best of shape

 

 

One thing I like to correct in the "Frequently Asked Questions about Buying Games at an Auction" guide is that although it says that you shouldn’t go for boards and parts, I find this statement to be false. The Auction started with just that! Tons of boards, wiring harnesses, control panel overlays, coin doors, etc.

I took down some of the going prices of the older stuff and things that are not as old but I still enjoyed playing, but with over 260 pinball’s and videos, auctioning ran for 10 ½ hours before it was all sold and I couldn’t write it all down.

The Pinball Row

 

All in all I’m as tired as I’ve ever been from standing in a warehouse all day but I’d do it again in a heartbeat
