I have been a collector for many years. This will be the first time and I hope last time I have to make a post like this. I guess when your around long enough these things happen. However it still sucks. My point to this is to spare someone else from going through this with this seller.
I bought this T3 from Gorf. The ad is here.

During our communication I asked if the game were huo. Does it have any flipper button wear? Does it have any broken plastics or playfield wear? He responded the game is perfect. It does not have wear on the cabinet or anywhere. It's in excellent condition. I saw a few pics. The pics seem to back that up. I ask him again to verify no wear or surprises. He responds that it's perfect. I buy the game. The game shows up today. On first glance I can tell it's not huo. I take off the half moon protectors to see extreme wear that someone tried to paint black with spray paint. A couple of plastics are dinged, the game is dirty. The backbox lock is gone. There is wear around the legs. I emailed Jason telling him this game is a routed example. It is not a huo excellent shape game. I asked him what he was willing to do to make this right. I sent him a pic of the spray painted button wear. His response was that is he paid more for the game from someone else. He isn't willing to make this right in anyway. I pointed out to him that just because someone sold you a routed game as huo. That doesn't give you the right to misrepresent the game to get your money back. I told him I would leave negative feedback if he isn't willing to work something out. He doesn't seem to see the wrong in this. He has 3 games for sale right now. All listed as huo. I would look very hard at that claim. Hopefully this saves someone else from dissapppintment.
Before the pinside mafia jumps on me, I got to relaxed from dealing with other pinsiders. I should have asked for more pictures and looked at the game harder. I shouldn't have taken his word for some of these things. Lesson learned. If anyone wants a routed t3 with a color dmd please pm me. It will be for sale.
Thank
