I'm guessing SMVE is $6,500 shipped. I'm guessing HUO SM is $5,000 + shipping = $5,400.

Adjustments to SM to compare value:
Add $300 for shaker and armor to SM = $5,700
Add $500 because SM is used (1,000 or more plays), no warranty, etc = $6,200
Add $300 because there is no risk of a seller deceiving condition = $6,500
Add $200 because I spend no time looking and waiting and hoping = $6,700
Add $200 because I have more risk of freight damage / insurance collection = $6,900
Add $300 for better artwork = $7,200

As you can see, for me SMVE is the better choice. Certainly you will place different values on these adjustments.

I posted how I value the stuff - everyone is different. Looks like your numbers put SM at $6,100 with adjustments. That's about where they are.

Local to me SM machines that are HUO and priced correctly and seen by me has happened once and I didn't see it soon enough to buy. Could be years. . .wish that were different, but very poor chance of ever owning if I wait for local.
