The used car tactics were never really a thing before pinside.
I’m in the don’t want to hear your story camp. If a game is for sale, I don’t care that your wife doesn’t like it, or you REALLY love the game but need money for a water heater, or your “grail game” just became available...
Not sure why anybody thinks that makes their stuff more attractive. But everybody does it so I’m wondering if it works. There are plenty of weak-minded people who might not pull the trigger on a game they aren’t convinced the previous owner “really loves” but is only selling because of some outrageous circumstance?
