    Default Blackout hits Yukon Oklahoma

    After reading so much on this site with respect to Pachinkos, the Darkness has taken hold of me.

    Last night I won a Evangelion w/Red Lumina Frame. I feel pretty lucky to get it for $135 plus shipping and really glad to get the red frame (I like it). For the last few days I was kicking around which one to get - Yamato, Indy, SW, or Julie. The last two seem a bit inflated due to the Holiday Rush. Already looking into them after the first of they year.

    Almost didn't get it though... I was waiting until the last couple of minutes to put in my snipe but at the last minute my computer rebooted - very strange! I was lucky enough to get it back up with a few seconds to go and get in my bid.

    Now I have to look forward to learning about cabinets, ball storage/rotation and cell swaping!

    Hand sniping - yeah. Don't know anything about using a program to do it for me. I guess I will need to check into it at some point and get out of the dark ages...

    Hand sniping adds excitement you'll never get once it is automated.

    I had a pc reboot and lost an aucti0n, almost cost me a monitor too. thebidnapper allows for un attended sniping. if the PC is deap then it will still go. and If you have a slow connection it eliminates that lag as well.
    I agree the actual hand sniping is more exciting, more like real auction action. a bit of a rush. Real live auctions are a show, they can be a rush, If you never been to one check one out some time. Warning the box O' crap might be just that!

    Let's face it, you're from Oklahoma, a place I love dearly. Now one of the many great traits of Oklahomans is we do for ourselves. This means that you go after your prey the old fashioned way and enjoy the thrill of the hunt!

    Sure you can automate the process like those east and west coast people do, if you want to be like them that is..
    Meanwhile, somewhere in Oklahoma.
