HUO doesn't mean it's nice. With an accurate description, maybe some pics and some details, I'm sure we can help.

I can tell you though, when they pop up, it's usually around $4K - $4,500. Those games in that price range are typically nice, maybe a little wear outside the Axl hole, and nice cabs with no cab fade. Some of these GNR's are faded, most of them are okay I think. They are shopped, strong flippers, bouncy rubbers, maybe slightly cracked ramps but overall in good shape. That sort of thing.

I think that's a good fair price. HUO, not HUO, in that condition you can't advertise it as HUO so as far as I'm concerned it's not.

I disagree. A ton of GNR's have at least a little bit of wear in that area. It's really similar to the lost mine kickout on WH20, it doesn't make it worth any less because a large percentage of games have it.

No wear might make the game worth more, but a little wear there doesn't make the game worth less than average.

I disagree and it would, yes. So every WH20 with a small dot of wood near the lost mine is junk? That's a bit extreme in my opinion.

I'm not saying wear up the middle in a TSPP is acceptable. But what I am saying is that there are a small handful of games in which a large percentage are prone to wear in undesirable ways. Unless you get really lucky, or spend huge money, your GNR probably has wear there so it's acceptable.

FWIW, my GNR A-Hole looked about that bad, maybe a bit worse. I put a Cliffy on it and have been playing it a few years without the Cliffy being bent etc.
