I loved your video, I wish I had watch it before I bought a completely corroded LW3 with destroyed playfield last year. Although it works perfectly is difficult to ged rid of it without making a loss. Some of your points are valid, some depend a lot on how much money you have at your disposal. If having a somewhat faded side or a part of the playfield not at 100% but you end up paying 50% of the price maybe you can still have fun at home with the machine.

Thank you 🙏🏻 😊 Hmmm I’m sorry about your LW3 purchase, yes videos like this will prevent bad deals I hope. I mean as long as the price is fair compared with the condition of the pin, then it’s okey I guess😅

@@RETROCENGO yeah, I think is a matter of what you want. you say walk away, but if you pay 2500 for a Medieval Madness with scratched playfield and faded sides but is mechanically working perfectly.. hmmm.. At the end it comes up to what you want.

@@seelan73 I say walk away or ask for a discount, in that case a MM for 2500 is an amazing discount/steal :-)

My most important part: don't do shipping, try to collect it yourself. The market has some scammers which you can go around that way.

[@RETROCENGO]

those scamers are the worst!

@@RETROCENGO You said it yourself in your video so often: if you don't feel good about the business, just walk away. Never forget this is an option.

@@Mechator_Rex exactly buddy, never get desperate, there is another pinball machine forsale just around the corner and as the market is right now, total buyers market, it’s over flooded with new little used games under msrp now
