It should be expected that games with this issue will come at a discount. Frankly the manufactures should be selling these at a 10%-25% discount from street prices as a “scratch and dent sale”. Sell these machines st a discount to buyers who can find a price point to accept the flaws. Or fix the flaws to keep the high prices. Those are really the only options. Second Hand market?? This should be 5k tops. It’s going to depreciate like every other new stern but even faster and more significant as a result of the playfield issues.

Sorry, you’re wrong.

This game has playfield problems. It should come at a discount like any other consumer good with defects. It’s just not acceptable to pass this off as something we should all just tolerate! Sorry but these manufacturers have got to do something about this! And current owners will suffer the fate of reduced second hand market. This should be of surprise to no one. Try to sell a 2019 model year car with scratched up rims or door dings! The small issues impact price. That’s life and Pinball is no exception

The problem here isn’t the seller, it’s the game. It’s a damaged game that much like many many others this year have irreparable issues and thus the game should be at a discount. I will offer $4900 right now no questions asked. At that price i am willing to accept the damage and faults. That will be the conversation on every one of these games moving forward. What is the climate for buyer tolerance on these damaged games?
