Doesn't say the time, but I'm assuming it's morning like it has been in the past. For those unaware (POO F***ING DUDE), there's free play in the morning followed by the auction for the machines. I had a lot of fun last time I went, even though I didn't stay for the actual bidding because I had to be on a plane out to St. Louis.

Anyone going? I definitely am.

HELL. YES...

Now I have a house to put stuff in.

Oh man, please --for the love of Crom-- let there be a Tron cab... I can finally buy one!

GregN · Oct 8, 2009

I may or may not be out of town... we'll see. Too bad they don't have pinball machines at these things.. Auctions I went to in the 90s had them..

You've gotta see yo' momma!
(Sorry, I couldn't resist)

Kiel · Oct 8, 2009

I'll be there for this one.

Grinwing · Oct 9, 2009

I was just about to post this and was happy to see that you already did.

Here is the link to the MOMA website with location.

I am soo psyched for this.

This had better end before the Notre Dame game at 3:30 (it should...)

I have been to this auction a few times

I used to hit the Moma auction back when it was heald at apache mall in NE Milleapolis. I plan to make the drive to Maple Grove this year though as I need a ne Jamma rig.

I have an nice appliance dolly and can help someone move their game in their house in exchange for you trucking a game I buy to mine in NE Minneapolis and I will get it in the house myself.

Any board members that will be their have room in their pick-up?

Look forward to meeting you guys. I will recognize Bobak from the drunken photos from the summer meet. I assume the rest of you wont be too far from him. HA-HA

I wish I could be as cool as poodude is.

poodude · Oct 11, 2009

Must be rough. I will be there!

turbo87 · Oct 11, 2009

This will be my first auction. I plan on being there

ookitarepanda · Oct 11, 2009

Poodude hacked my shit. But I still wish I were as cool.

aria · Oct 12, 2009

I think Ramad's going to try to make it as well.

aria · Oct 13, 2009

I definitely look forward to seeing all of you. Don't hesitate to say hi to me if we've never met.

Magician · Oct 13, 2009

If I'm not working on the cabin this weekend count me in as well.

Metal Slugnuts · Oct 13, 2009

I would love to come but the inlaws are taking over my apartment/weekend (my wife's side, not my cousin's). :angry:

Tung Fu ru · Oct 13, 2009

I'd love to, but I'm not sure if I can get someone to trade shifts with me so I could go. And I'm kinda broke right now anyways and don't need to tempt myself to buy another cab, but I wouldn't mind getting a newer touchscreen on the cheap! I wonder if I could get someone to go for me, maybe mo brother, but I don't think he's too big on favors... We'll see, I do like going, even if I don't buy anything, but sometimes the deals are just way too good to pass up.

Fett · Oct 14, 2009

Thanks for the heads up! That place is a few blocks from my house, I thought they went out of buisness...

aria · Oct 15, 2009

I am getting hyped up.

OMFG · Oct 15, 2009

As a heads up for anyone new to Super Auctions, be aware of the service charge that they tack onto the final bid price. Once you win a bid, get them to tell you when you can take the item out of the venue. There was a huge clusterf*ck at the Winchendon, MA auction with people wanting to load their new machines and Super Auctions saying nay.

During registration, get the lot sheet with the item numbers. Mark em down and check the equipment out. Do not gaggle away once the auction starts.

Playboycougar, Skat72, Yuckmud, N80G80, and myself had to go through the hassle of getting the equipment out of there due to Super Auctions wanting to wait until the last item has been bid on.

ookitarepanda · Oct 15, 2009

On their FAQ they say that people can take their stuff out as soon as they win it...

Just make sure they stick to it. They still gave us issues when we brought up the FAQ.

aria · Oct 15, 2009

The ones in Minnesota have been pretty clean (I think you can associate that with the fact that they're handled by a local company), I've had to friends from work buy machines from there without any hiccups (other than "oh shit, this doesn't fit in my car").

GregN · Oct 16, 2009

I won't be there this year. Make sure you guys list what they had or take pictures if you can.

Fett · Oct 17, 2009

I drove by that place on my way home from work yesterday morning and there was a trailer with half a dozen cabs or so just sitting in the parking lot unattended. It was tempting...
