I recently ordered a new machine. The delivery is late. When the box will be delivered, how can I check that the machine is really NIB and has not spent some time in the showroom of the distributor, then re-boxed ?

thanks for you answers

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate, the distributor is a famous part reseller and the sold items are not always as announced. Because things are unclear regarding the delivery date, I anticipate. Maybe I am to nervous about that, you are right.

To answer pezpunk post: hum, If you purchase a car as new and it has 1000 miles on the counter when you received it .... Theoretically you are right, but in that case I should be advised and get a rebate.

Glad to see all these comments, thanks again

Quoted from aeneas:
If it's Aerosmith, I learned it just arrived in Belgium (just saw an hour ago a friend of mine is also at a distributor to pick his up) so it can only be brand new.. there won't be any possibility that the game has sat at the dealer as it was not in the country before, the container just arrived.
If it's Carl you buy from, then he probably has a few other boxed NIB games in his truck when he's delivering to you, he doesn't even has time to unpack them, he just loads and visits all his buyers to drop off the machines..
Further when you unpack you will notice that some assemblies on the playfield usually are locked with zipties and have a paper note specifying you to remove them before playing.

Hi thanks. No Carl is a top guy, I purchased from him twice, always a good service !!!

Happy to see my question is not that stupid. I appreciate your feedbacks. cause 9500 bucks is not something I can dedicate every month or even year for a pin.
