I noticed an eBay ad (#6201840161) trying to sell information on an
upcoming arcade auction. The seller wanted a $24.99 opening bid (or
$29.99 BIN) to provide the information as to date, location and
responsbile agent.
While I am sure the seller believes that he or she is providing useful
information at a reasonable price, I have my doubts. Paying for public
information sticks in my craw, since as a taxpayer I have already paid
for it once. Plus, I am a well known cheapskate, even though I have
not achived the lofty CARGPB status.
So, by applying damn near two minutes to a search, I found the
following auction
http://www.treasury.gov/auctions/irs/samn_comm_938.htm which matches
the description of the one for which the seller is providing
information.
The auction is in East Sartell, MN on August 23. There look to be a
fair number of pins, along with a lot of redemptions. I hope that some
RGP'ers go there and find machines they want, without paying $29.99 to
find out where a publc auction is being held.
