I'm going against the consensus here. An NOS playfield advertised for sale should not have any scratches or defects. If it does, it definitely needs to be disclosed. Sometimes I feel some Pinsiders concede to things not normally accepted in the retail industry and end up screwing themselves and others. Why this is accepted, is beyond me. If these scratches and defects were not disclosed, I would want my money back or a big discount.

Quoted from underlord:

Because pf’s take up a huge space footprint and may take on minor damage over the decades. Unless reproduced lately, conceding is a strong option as opposed to waiting for a pristine nos that may never be found.

I understand that, but how is that the consumer's problem? If it wasn't stored properly and suffered damage, that should be disclosed. Not sold as New Old Stock. To me, "new" means just that. It should have been advertised as NOS with nicks and scratches from years of storage. Like Whysnow said, we need to see the Ebay ad.

Quoted from ForceFlow:

If you're buying NOS, the reality is that you have to expect stuff like this.

That's exactly what I mean about conceding. Are you talking about the pinball industry only? Or do you mean anything NOS is ok to have defects? Either way, I totally disagree and would be asking for my money back, IF it wasn't disclosed.

Most likely, Ebay knows nothing about pinball and if they saw that playfield, I think they would immediately side with the buyer after seeing it.

I respect your points and interpretations. It's just not the way I do business as a buyer or seller and unacceptable to me.

Ok I just saw the Ebay ad....LMAO. Enough said.
