Police seized slots from auction texas (its over for now)

[PWRSTROKE]

Well,  I heard from a few buddys that raked up on this one.  I knew about but forgot.  Know of one that grabbed a slingo and vision for a good deal for sure,  Then there were some out-of-state bidders that mostly won out- williams 550's etc.  Sure some others here can chime in and fill in blanks as some more are up soon there-?.  (40+) of whatever-   Thought I would share as these probably will be "floating" the vines soon- I forgot about the auction- - -- B.

That stinks that you missed out on it.  When you say Slingo and Vision games for a "good deal", what are we talking?

Also, wasn't Slingo a licensed game (ie. it should have never made it out of the casino)?  I'm aware of at least one private owner who has one, but I thought they were next-to-impossible to find.

Finally, may I suggest Google Calendar?  It's a free to use application that lets you put events (one-time or recurring) on your calendar, and then you can have it e-mail you a few days (or whatever time period you set) in advance to remind you of them.  It's great for when you (for example) hear about an auction that's coming up in a month and a half but then forget about when the time comes.  A friend of mine uses it to remind himself to pay his bills.

[PWRSTROKE]

Yes,  He got a slingo and a fishing vision game.  They both worked perfectly after he replaced the batteries etc. in them.  A good deal try 150.00 each and you tell me- .  I know of about 7-8 members and others that have slingos.  From what I hear they are pretty cool.  I do not nor have ever had one as of yet. - .

WHAT a buncha crybabies ....I am still playing with pre-90's S+'s.....

Stout,  Time to step up to the plate and MAN-UP-- Join the fun--They are available now. -- They are very universal as well get tired of that one rip the top off and build a barcrest or other-   Barry

Where was the auction???

[rob20_760]

I went to an auction in Seguin, tx this past saturday.  I picked up 2 wms 550's, 2 VLC's, and a few pot-o-golds.  I got a pretty good deal on some of them but there was this internet bidder, #5019, that was buying up everything he could.  He paid over a grand for a CRT pot-o-gold with a broken touch screen.  I had to wait and see what he wasn't bidding on before I would even bother bidding.  This one guy that was there kept top bidding me on the one machine I really wanted.  A WMS 550 Robin Hood video slot.  I finally gave up at 1700.

$150 for Vision games including a Slingo?!?  Oy, if only I could have been there!

[PWRSTROKE]

Not for sure the exact locale there in texas but ask cushmanman here and see.  It was and sounded like a good buyers market/auction.  B.

[PWRSTROKE]

Well,  As a reply to  rob20  The fella I think was from florida and ended up buying a bunch of the 550's as well as the s-2000 sit-down types.  Just what I heard from the grape vines.  How where your machines- Post some pics - Thanks Barry.

[rob20_760]

Here are a some that I got while I was there.

[rob20_760]

Here are some others I picked up there.

Where was the auction???

[rob20_760]

I went to one is seguin, tx north east of san antonio.  There where a lot of online bidders to.  I think they went through Proxibid.  I would have made out if that hadn't happened but oh well I still made out okay considering what I did get.

It must be awfully moldy by now.
(The pecan, not your pic, although...)

[jdkmunch]

I missed out on this one..... Were was the original article?  I would like to know the details of where and what happened. 

[crossfire]

Thought I would finally log in cause I got some info. Went to the Seguin auction and it went down like this 175 slots up for sale most worked but hoppers and coin comps were well jacked with.  They didn't want the machines to drop coins, hand pay only. They did alot of bad stuff to make sure they didnt pay out.  Alot of hoppers totally missing and silicon seal gooped in the coin shoots.  That being said it was great scored a Williams jackpot party for $75.00.  It said broken but after one of the hardest fixes I got it working great. also bought a IGT cherry bar.  Here is a list of some of the winning bids. Didnt have time to all but gives you a pretty good idea. Also talked to the sheriff and he said he is doing another sale of 45 confiscated slots at the end of April. I will let every one know. It was and will be posted using siskauctions.com.  here is the partial list. Sorry for the length

[stayouttadabunker]

It's funny that the video games fetched more money than the slot machines...esp the POG videos

Thanks for the post, Crossfire, and welcome to NLG!
