There were 4 pins: TMNT, WPT, SWE1 and Flipper Football. I bought the last one. Good deals on some video stuff but nothing spectacular.


Ten SS games...but 8 is my limit!

This was only my second Starburst auction and I thought it was great.  Not because of the auction itself which was so-so, but because I got to meet and talk to more CGCC and MAACA members.  It truly is nice to be able to put a face to the nickname(remembering real names and nicknames to match up with the actual person - foget about it.  My mind has been shot for years).  I highly recommend to anyone who can to go to the auction just for the 'parking lot' swap meet and greet.  It think it should be 90% of your reason for going and the auction the other 10%, that way you're not disappointed by the auction.  Here's a shout out to the members I met yesterday for the first time, GJD, Vidiot, Nickv, Ancient Games, Davester, Karmatose, Subpacket, McMean and about a dozen others than my bad memory can't come up with right now.  Also, to all the members I already knew or had met B1, Grauwulf, Jcblu78, Sparky, Swede, and once again a couple more that I can't remember right now.  Thanks everyone for making it fun.  Hopefully, most of you can make it to Gjd's auction in 2 weeks.


5 Pins - High Speed(under repair), Diamond Lady,PinBot, STARGATE and ??????(to be announced)
1 Slot - 3 Reel
5 Vids - Golden Tee 2005, Rush the Rock x 2 linked, Area 51-Site 4, Mame(under repair), Megatouch XL
0 Time to enjoy

wish list - more room for more toys

it was great.  the caller was in top form as always and we have a new nickname for a member.  has to do with futurerama.  
   didn't end up winning anything or even bidding.  just hung out and was more then late for work.  missed out in about a dozen piercings.  unlucky me, they all came back and then some.  so busy day afterwards.  
  parking lot wasn't as busy as in the past.  but still some deals going on and things exchanged.  next one should be more then a blast.
   great to meet some new guys i haven't and some of the others i have meet and keep forgetting and reintroducing myself.  nice to meet you all again and again.

The auction is always kinda neat. Lots of crap but it can be had for cheap. Congrats to wbradley on the Flipper Football; it was fun listening to the machine after Sparky enabled the profanity mode. Also, congrats to Nickv on winning the enormous shooting gallery. I hope your wife likes it.  

I think I might have a t-shirt made with my avatar on the front and back or a wear 'Hello my name is' sticker to break the anonymity. Or wear a MAACA t-shirt like Gory.

  and i didn't pay attention to the others and just headed outside to hang and then run back to the shop.

  as for the shirt.   sparky has more for sale.  i think i own three.  great for moving pins and vids and not to worry about ripping my good clothes.  rip them while moving a pin or vid and you have a story to go with the rip.

Those are the black MAACA shirts right? (The ones with the web address on the front, and the coin slot symbol on the back)

wpt starting bid was only $1475.   so if it sold at that price, then it was a great deal and worth it.

Your clothes get ripped while moving pins? What are you, the hulk?
