I can't be the only one that has noticed the trendy changes in ad descriptions in the last few years. What are some of your favorite hyperbolic statements that have made you laugh, cringe, or personally use to move a machine? Poll added and feel free to add suggestions.
Quoted from RCA1:Home-Use-Only for the last X years.
Tasteful LED lighting.
The amount of people posting “I have XYZ HUO!!!” Pisses me right off.
HUO has a very specific meaning and interpretation. Yes, I am proficient in translating ignorance to English, so I understand what they actually mean.
In general this hobby and website is designed for people who play and collect pinball machines for their homes, so it’s redundant to state the game is used at home. Operating is a TINY portion of Pinside.

“I don’t want to sell it but I have *insert NIB* coming this weekend”
Then why buy a new game?? Why have it for sale??
Maybe not hyperbole, but not a fan of “like new, only x plays.” Guess the game must suck if you’re selling it after 30 plays.
Quoted from The_Pump_House:Why are HUO plays sooooo much better than route plays?
I mean, sure your HUO pin has 1/10th the balls played at 15x the ball length time…
So my answer is HUO
You haven't seen me on Pinbot. Hello outlane...
I really don't give a shit about sales hyperbole stuff. Comes with the territory. I'm glad your 30 year old game is HUO since 2005, and it's also nice to hear that your machine is "tastefully modded."
What I don't need to hear is that you are "only selling it to take room," or that you love the game but "unfortunately my little one is afraid of robots."
I don't care why you are selling it, and nobody else should either.
“Very nice”. Every single game for sale uses this. Ok. Thanks for clarifying it’s not a pile of crap.
Just take a lot of very good pictures and point out any problems. That would be refreshing
Bad pictures, 3 pictures, too lazy to remove the glass pictures, dark pictures are my biggest peeve. Don’t be lazy and take us some good pics!
Quoted from poppapin:Extremely rare.
I can’t believe I missed this one
