Pretty crappy selection of pins this time and as usual bringing close
to retail for ugly turds. As usual before Rob auctioned off the pins
he has to tell his usual story of how there is only one pinball
manufacturer left and this auction is the most pinball's they have
ever had before and their may very well not be as many at the next
auction bla bla bla. I've heard it for 4 years now Rob...... Most
pins were in typical auction condition from either worn out parts
machines to needing some minor tweaking and a shop job. Prices listed
below are the hammer prices in the order they were auctioned off. Add
13% buyers premium and 8.25% sales tax to figure up what the final
damage was on these.
