    I just wish people could take better, more detailed pictures that are not in the dark! I mean if you're selling a pin dirt cheap that's one thing but if you want market price or better please take the time to take good pictures!

    Quoted from floyd1977:

    Condition is king. The only thing "HUO" (in any form) signifies to me is that the seller is probably going to be asking more than I care to pay.

    Some people know how to use the term HUO properly... not many but some.

    Quoted from pinmister:

    HUO has been a term that indicates a machine was never on route, but it does not give a clear picture of condition. I have seen HUO machines that have tons of plays and have a good amount of wear on shooter lane and other areas.

    Like I said in the past even if a machine is HUO you shouldn't even use the term unless the machine is pretty much pristine. I realize HUO has nothing to do with condition but it does and always will give the perception of flawless or near flawless condition. It just does whether we like it or not.

    If you use the term properly it is fine IMO.
