I've owned 30 plus pins and I can honestly say I have never...not even once...looked at the numbers of plays on a pin before I bought it. Price and condition are king for me.

Funny story, years ago I bought a Transformers Pro from a local op that had it in one of the more popular locations at the time. Game looked and played great as the op really takes care of his games. Later on when it was time to sell it, when the guy who bought it came to pick it up he looked at the number of plays on it for fun and it was 27,000 and change. I was shocked, I had never looked even when I owned it, but that amount of plays didn't faze the buyer at all.

Maybe price is king and condition queen?

Chris runs Up/Down bar/arcades in the Midwest. They do a lot of volume normally and then have promotions like nickel game night, so plays can add up very fast. Coincidentally, he was the one who bought my Transformers Pro from my post above.
