Quoted from ronaldvg:For some people buying NIB is just practical. If you do not have much technical knowledge NIB is very good. The things I have seen with not NIB machines to fix a problem With NIB you know exactly what has been done to a machine and normally they don't break as quickly.
With all the new people getting in to the hobby, technical knowledge is severely lacking and who can blame them ? Everybody has to learn somehow. If you just want to play and not fiddle around every few days, NIB is a good choice.
