Sumter SC Sale: Was It Worth It???
Homezone
accumulated items from Super Auctions.
You were led to believe that this was an operator going out of
business or downsizing.
Some were led to believe that some stuff coming out of the Paviilion
in Myrtle Beach would be at this sale.
Fact of the matter is while some stuff at Myrtle was or will be sold
off, some will be transferred to the Broadway at the Beach. The
former
owners of the Pavilion, own this same property and are building up
that park.
The stuff that you saw in Sumter was a buildup of items accumulated
over time from the Super Auctions folks.
Veteran auctioneer, Johnny King, also from South Carolina was
auctioning off the items however a buyer wanted to buy them.
For an operator, this wasnt a good sale to go to even if your looking
for the one Addams Family they had. Most of the items were not
suitable for route.
For the readers of this site, this was THE SALE to go to. Most of you
LOVE the projects they had at this sale.
For those who thought they were going to buy something for nothing ,
think again, most of it wasnt worth what it sold for.
For those thinking many operators wouldnt be there, think again,
nearby company, Green Coin Machine, was there.
For those who like to put down Auction Game Sales on this site, hope
you had a good time in Sumter. Auction Game Sales never has sales
like
this on in Sumter.

Bought 3 cabinets for $15.00 Won't know how much (or how little)
works till I get them home on Tuesday.

shizat auction for me, they were practically paying us to take
cabinets away at the end. I bought 8 cabinets for $5 or less, and
granted, they were all shit conversions, but that's the stuff that I
love to restore. I'm pretty sure that none of my stuff works, and it
ain't pretty, but it will be :) Here's what I got:
Pac Man, monitor, no boards, kind of Frankenstiened together, $45 (not
sure why I bought this one, I wish I had waited)
Gyruss, complete, non-working, 5 bucks
3 Defender cocktails, all in various states of conversion, only 1 with
original control panels, 1 missing a monitor, no boards in any of
them: $25, $10, $1
4 Williams cabinets, all conversions, all complete with monitors $5
each. Robotron, Defender, Joust and (I think) a Sinistar
I hooked up my buddy with his 3 Ivan Stewart's, 2 with monitors, at
least 2 with boards, 5 bucks each.
I also picked up a shitpile of coinmechs, leafswitch pushbuttons, Pac
joysticks, some Williams control panels and a bunch of other shit that
I need to go through. I had a great time, it was exactly what I was
hoping for, and I was not dissapointed.
This was a great auction if you do what I do, sell parts and fix
machines. There were some operators there, but they were buying, not
selling.
If anyone needs a coin mech, let me know, I'm about to go herniate
myself unloading them out of the wife's mini-van, hehe...

stuff, so they would say, "give me a dollar bill" and none would bid,
so they would throw in the next vid also. It got to a point where one
dude bought 10 vids for like 1 or 5 bucks total! It kinda sucked so
because if you wanted one cabinet, they made you take all the other
crap too. Also one guy got all the pole positions at once for hardly
nothing. I hope he can make one or too out of them. Also I've never
seen so many cocktails at once. I had a great time though, have lots
of work ahead of me.

I just got back from everything and taking a BATH.
I'm wondering why the hell I bought some of that crap.
Granted, I got a nice pallet of boards a couple times, but there was
a bunch of crap to go with it.
I thought that a warehouse of cheap games about an hour from home
would be a dream, but it's actually got me reconsidering why I mess
with this stuff anyway.
I got several items that I'm wondering if it's worth driving back
for.
Video Pinball? Sarge? Rolling Thunder?
This is all whacked.
Oh- and they did sell a PALLET full of Playchoice boxes for about
$1500. I don't know if it wound up being worth it or not. Somebody
was saying some of the boxes on top were missing chips and stuff.
They should have called it off or something before doing the 2nd
room. There was almost no interest in anything at that point.
One diamond in the rough- ROUGH
Sinistar cockpit w boards- no other knowledge. $300.
I'm glad it didn't go cheaper. I would have parted it OUT and that's
probably a shame..
Tac Scan w monitor and boards- $5. I'll keep thinking about that to
forget about the Video Pinballs....

their backs, no legs, no back boxes, and they were having a tough time
giving them away, just like the vids. I don't think any of them worked
100%. They had an Addams Family that went for 1750, there was an old
Kiss and an old Playboy next to that, and they were hardly museum
pieces. There were some old-old machines down at the end that went for
some money, but I don't know what they were.
I think "45 pins" is a bit of a stretch... they had a pile of parts
too though.

some money put into it. It needed a new DMD, left flippers didn't
work, metal was rusted on the ramps, needed cleaning, the thing that
puts the ball into play didn't work, and a few other problems. The
artwork was nice though.
The rest of the pins that were standing were missing boards, glass,
playfield parts, and a bunch of other stuff. Mainly parts machines.
I got a space shuttle for parts and one of the EM pins with no head
that I'm going to make a coffee table out of for my game room.
