I saw a guy on Ebay selling information for an auction that had a TZ
for $30.00, after some digging I found the information on the internet.
Here is the link for anyone in that area. I would love to go but the
drive for me would be over 14 hours. Some of these games are going to
go cheap. IF you do go and you make out good. Please feel free to pick
me up a Valley Cougar Dart board. I'll pick it at the Expo.

I'm not sure just how cheap the pins will go for. This was covered
last week and it sounds like quite a few guys from the Twin Cities area
are going. I'd like to go but there's really nothing I'm looking for.

A good point that was mentioned last time is IRS auctions can be cancelled
at the last minute if the debtor finds the back taxes and can pay them - so
driving that far could be fruitless if the person who owes taxes can come up
with them!

Bryan wanted a new truck. Bryan's wife wanted a new sports car. Things were
tense. Then she informed Bryan her birthday was coming up and she wanted
something that went from zero to two hundred in four seconds. Bryan got her
a scale for her birthday. Services will be 8:00am on tuesday.

thanks
they wont go cheap thow. even if only 2 guys are there that know about
pins, they will go to the normal bidding price. thats how auctions
work. plus the auctioneer will do their deed to get the right amount.

For a storage auction the stuff looks pretty clean. I bet on high
prices.

How about this part from the website -

Only the right, title and interest of the taxpayer in and to the property
will be offered for sale. If requested, the Internal Revenue Service will
furnish information about possible encumbrances, which may be useful in
determining the value of the interest being sold.

Does that mean if there are leans or anything already against the equipment,
that even if you buy it, you might not have clear title to it ? LTG :)

You might be right on the money there if he still owes a bank and you
buy it you might now own bank, But we have bought from irs before they
really don't care about selling price , Pres needs cash to send overseas

It they operate like a local county tax sale(property sale to pay
back taxes) the new owner takes on all responsibilities of the property.
Liens, lawsuits,etc etc..
That question should be asked before bidding on anything. But if it's
like most other tax sales and if the owner is established and not in
that much trouble there is a good chance they will come up with the
money at the 11'th hour.

From somebody that was this >< close to taking off work to go to this
and successfully got scared away by the talk of no deals to be had (nice
tactic, by the way.. it worked)..

How'd people make out on this one?

About 50 people there. Most pins went at book or higher. Many vids higher
than eBay. They made $21,000 early (what the IRS required) so then they
stopped selling individuals and lotted the last batch of 15 games and
someone paid $6500 for it, then claimed he was headed to eBay and was
offering his insanely high belief of eBay prices to sell them on the spot
there, even before he had won the lot bid.

For those wondering if it was worth going to the auction in Sartell,
MN, here are the selling prices for all of the lots sold. I'm off by
$50 somewhere on the hammer prices according to what the auctioneer
said the final total was, but one of -his- final prices was wrong, and
corrected downward by $25 when the buyer paid, so I suspect I'm really
only off $25, or perhaps dead on if the other buyer got their price
corrected...

Here they are, in the order the lots were sold... there was no buyers
premium, and no sales tax -- a very pleasant surprise!
