Some paparazzi pics from Superauctions - Kalamzoo, MI

[FABombjoy]

Well, I got up way to early on a Saturday and dragged a few friends downstate to the Superauctions in Kalamazoo. I took a bunch of pics and thought I'd share.

Paparazzi you ask? You see, you're supposed to get permission to take photographs. Why? I dunno. Too bad, I took a bunch anyway. Some of them are blurry, but when you're trying to be discreet, nothing gives you away like a camera flash.

So, take a look RIGHT HERE! (http://lukesandel.com/share/)

A few noteworthy pics:

IMG_3524 - Cocktail cabs, including 'The Pit'.

IMG_3538 - If I had to bid on 5 games, and they had to be lined up in a row, it would be these 5 (APB, Asteroids Deluxe, Robotron, Rastan, Star Castle)

IMG_3545 - While bidding was going on at the other end of the hall, this kid was rifling through all the coin boxes looking for money.

IMG_3550 - NFL Blitz with N64 memory card slot. Neat.

I didn't realize anybody from DP was going! I would have made a point to say hi at the least. I had my Boston hat on. In picture 3546 my brother is holding a pop, while I've got my hands in my pockets and my face got cut off screen. I ended up only getting a project Double Dragon for $190 after fees. I think thats it near the end in 3527, but I can't tell.

I distinctally remember hearing the crazy auctioneer guy say something about "if he takes any more pictures go send him on his way". I didn't think anybody had a camera. I came with mine, but I asked first. I drove like 3 hours to get there, I didn't want to break their rules.

Overall this auction had more buyers then sellers, causing pretty much everything to go for too much. I wanted the Jam TE, but it immediately went for more than I wanted to spend. The best deals of the auction were the Gauntlet 2 that needed a little work for I believe $475, and Pete Mathis's Spiderman that only ended up going for $225. I've been kicking myself ever since the bidding on that one ended, I don't know where the hell I was on that one.

I know of at least one person who was taking down results, so I'll be sure to post them here for everyone.

Hey that's cool, I didn't know anybody was going either. I was the dude with the black shirt, dark-green shorts, glasses... you know, one of the 4% of attendees that didn't look like some weird redneck.

Heh... After casually taking a bunch of pics, someone told me to ask him for permission (while the auction was running). I replied with "uh... He's seems preoccupied at the moment with the whole auctioning-thing, y'know", but they appeard dumbfounded by my statement. They should consider posting their photography policy on their website.

There was one Blitz 2000, and I think 2 Blitz '99. All of them had the N64 memory card thing. All went for around $400 if I remember correctly.

there was one at Milwaukee as well and the price sounded pretty similar.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to make it but it also looks like I didn't miss out on anything terribly too interesting though.

Thanks for posting the pics and list :)
