OP
Quoted from Chet_Hardbody:
Hear me out.
I buy a used car for $10,000. Before I pay for it, I take it to my mechanic and have them do an independent inspection.
I buy a Pinball machine for $10,000. Before I pay for it, I play it and give it a look over, but I'm not an expert.
Therefore, when buying an expensive Pinball machine, you should bring your own independent inspector to sign off on your purchase.

I’ve done this before. It’s a good idea if you’re considering buying a game you aren’t familiar with its era.

I think everyone in this thread is thinking way too much into this. Just bring a friend that knows way more than you about the game you’re considering. Get their advice and make your decision.

Quoted from Hayfarmer:
Maybe, he's talking about new, and the problems we are seeing

Even so. Know some distros have allowed a NIB to be opened at their shop first and inspected before the person takes it home. Not sure which one allowed that though.
