Can anyone explain why it makes any difference whatsoever how many plays a machine has had in a specific window of time over its life relative to its WHOLE life? Who cares if its got 600 plays in 12 years, it could have 60,000 lifetime plays! I would rather have a game that's had 20,000 lifetime plays than one that's had 2 plays in the last 15 years and 25,000 prior.

The whole basis for this price seems to have no bearing on anything. Price is based on condition primarily. Condition and # of plays don't align and they certainly don't align when we are supposed to be looking through the lens of a particular period of time and not lifetime plays...

Condition on this thing speaks volumes and says yes, its a really nice clean example of Baywatch...a game that should sell around $2250. Not much more and not much less.

Quoted from lpeters82:

I agree. I completely ignore terms like "HUO" or "X number of plays". Those terms might give an indication of the condition, but the condition is all that matters. Having said that, I'm actually not that picky when it comes to condition. If I can stretch my budget by buying a game with a few dings and dents I'd just assume do that. Likewise, while I think the "immaculate" is not accurate, I don't totally blame the OP for the asking price. There aren't many games in the sub-$3000 price range that I'd rather have. I'm running into the same issue with my BSD. It's a game I wouldn't mind rotating out of my collection, but when I started looking there really weren't many games I'd rather have for the same price. Right now, I'm basically trying to add on $1,000 cash and see what trade offers I can get.

You are right about this being a great value game out there in the sub $3000 market. I'd really love to have a Baywatch but not at that price. I'll offer $2500 right here right now. But for a non-LED example with coil issues, broken pop, missing plastic, etc - I wouldn't go a penny more. No doubt another one or several will show up this year at an appropriate price.
