Quoted from TheWizard00:Is this something that is common and maybe something i just need to get over?
Well you can't even get agreement going onthis subject as seen in this thread today.

There's nothing wrong with buying a machine that's been in a bar or whatever. 99% of all machines owned by us were.
The price for brand new games do not drop that much in value in 6 months to a year.
Quoted from Collin:I hear what you're saying, though I think there's a big difference between the two situation.
Agreed 100% I just mean you can't even get members to agree on all this stuff. Half the people in that thread are saying they expect HUO only machines to be in much better condition than routed ones. Whilst I would certain(t)ly assume that myself, I'm not going to expect it and going to do my work to look into it.
Quoted from TheWizard00:its my understanding from reading that when you update code it clears out the number of plays on the machine? is that correct?
It can be altered a few ways and people commonly use this tactic when selling a machine.
This goes hand in hand with "Hey look at my 1996 machine that's HUO, just 400 plays on it wow!" 
Quoted from PinMonk:Not for the Spike games.
Is that true? Pretty sure it erased my games played count on my GB when I updated?
Quoted from PinMonk:I don't think so. Pretty sure it only keeps the lifetime earnings on spike.
Cool thanks. This is something that can trick buyers as well then. He could just show him the games played after being wiped and he wouldn;t know any better...hell I didn't.
