    Absolutely not "HUO" if you took it to a show.
    If it went to a show for freeplay area then it is not "home use ONLY"
    If I were a buyer of said machine I would want that info disclosed. It wouldn't matter on price IMO but if your not honest about it, what else are you hiding.

    Quoted from j_m_:

    I put a quarter in every single game that I play at shows so that they can no longer be called HUO (and to f*ck with crazy levi, I put canadian quarters in his machines

    Lmao

    Quoted from JayDee:

    Since I’m a straight shooter, if I ever list my B\W pins for sale, I’ll list them as RIYPBHUOAR.
    Routed In Years Past But Home Use Only After Resto. Honesty is always the best policy

    This is a really good point. I have seen restos that put NIB to shame. Obviously a resto can have more time spent on it than an assembly line.

    Quoted from Rager170:

    How many plays would a single game get at one of these shows?

    I have seen 600 to 800 plays on machines at a show. ForceFlow has documented some of his own machines before/after a show.
    And I'll add that yes some machines get damaged/worn areas during a show.
    You're not exactly stopping during a show to say " hey we just reached 250 games, time for a clean and wax.
