Quoted from Dazaa:Has been in storage for years

So by storage, you mean a scrapyard... and it was “stored” in a rodent infested shed right? You forgot to disclose that bit.
Unless that was a different Rocky with the same decal wear on the coin door and a different person named Daza. If so, my bad.
Good luck with your sale!
Quoted from Dazaa:Wow such negative replies.
In your reddit post the thing is covered in mouse droppings and you said it was in a shed. Where is that info here? Technically that's storage I guess?
Would you be happy picking up a game soiled with rodent waste that came from an old shed if it was marketed as being in storage for a long time?
Probably not. Hence the negative comments.
Quoted from Haymaker:I think the vitriol you are experiencing mainly stems from the non disclosure of the conditions in which it came from, which is expected. That is somewhat of a major fuex pas in our community. We are generally open with what a machine is, and do not try to pass it off as anything else. IMO, this can be forgiven somewhat due to your inexperience, but you must understand why this is frowned upon now that its (hopefully) been explained to you.
Edit- I will give you credit though. Most people who come across something like this, post 1 or two horrible pictures and say the game is in nice shape and then ask way too much. At least you posted some decent pictures and didn't try to claim it was in great shape.
Nailed it. Dazaa, everybody hits some road bumps when they jump into this hobby. If you are legitimately interested in learning more about pinball and getting helpful tips to move your machine, the door is open for you. Myself and most other new people ended up overpaying for our first machine so don't sweat it too badly. If you can make any dollar amount over what you paid consider that a win!
