Starting at "Average" what exactly should average mean in condition and working status?
Is average a 6 or 7 on a ten point scale?

I don't believe anyone has ever really defined the range on a ten point scale with any certainty. Would be pretty cool for one of the big named restorers to provide us descriptions on a 10 point scale for playfield, cab, backglass, inner wiring, etc.
If one of the big named restorers took the time to make a list like this it would be the gold standard instantly for people describing their games for sale. (HEP, Keller, McCune, Treasure Cove, Vid, PinMike, etc. you guys reading this?)
Quoted from RCA1:I am absolutely not an authority, but shouldn't 5 be average on 1-10?
That's crazy math skills right there

Both you guys just gave me the laugh I needed to go work with civil engineers today.

No. maybe. depends.
I would think some standard needs to be set for what average means.
I think there should be two Averages: One for mechanical condition and one for cosmetic condition.
I think average mechanical condition should mean it at least plays with no errors
I am not sure what average cosmetic condition should mean .
Won't that just be another category....like is mentioned a lot in threads already. It is a 5 mechanically and a 5 cosmetically.

What does a 5 cosmetically look like?
