Like usual I documented the results for the pins at this last weekends Super Auction in Mesquite, Texas.
Let me say this, with this countries current economic situation, it showed at this auction.
I wish I had more money and more room on my truck. Pins were going cheap! It was a buyers paradise.
Deals to be had left and right. Mostly the pins manufactured in the mid to late 80's.
I picked up 2 pins. Plus there were just about if not more than 100 pins at the auction.
That's auctions in a row here with a huge turn out on pins. 

Here are the results in the order they got auctioned off. Prices seemed to get cheaper as they went.
All games for the most part were in auction condition. Some were fully shopped while others had their
problems. These prices posted are the hammer prices.
