Quoted from Frax:

I mean....I haven't kept up with things...but I paid GAP 3300 for the sample Jackbot I had shipped, and the shipping company basically tried to destroy. Cabinet looked a lot better than this one, even after it ending up upisde down on it's head. I ended up having to sell it for 2500 to get it moved out, and that was AFTER cleaning out all the busted glass, re-clearing the playfield, adding LEDs yadda yadda. Sure, part of it was the whole bullshit "BuT iT's A sAmPlE gAmE sO iT's InFeRiOr" thing (because of the locks being different. Mine worked fine, and the buyer clearly agreed.)
Not arguing your price one way or the other, just providing a reference point. Personally, I'd delist it, hold it until april, then relist it when everyone's looking for ways to waste their tax refunds.

Sample games are ridiculously inferior. Probably why you had to dump yours so cheap.

Quoted from metallik:

So what't this easy fix? When I had an IJ, I moved the metal backstop back about 1/4", lowered the plastic saucer about 1/8" by adding washers and longer screws, also used dead-stop foam, also bent the walls inward a bit to funnel to the center of the hole... all of that got the mode-start to about 90% retention but I wouldn't exactly call it an easy fix. What's the easy JB fix?

Doesn't exist. People have tried everything. The only thing that would apparently work would be installing the production locks, which would require some modification (drilling/routing) of the playfield.

Most (all?) people decide it's just not worth the trouble and sell it. My solution, before selling it, was to set multiball 3 to easy to compensate for all the rejected jackpot shots.
