This really sucks but I think you did the right thing. You've already paid for the game so refusing it would just put it in the hands of the idiots that caused all the damage and you may never see it again. The problems you're having may or may not be related to the shipping damage and if it was me I would fix it up and get it playing 100%. I mean, why not? Selling it for a loss will just make things worse. At the same time keep working on getting reimbursed, at this point you have nothing to lose.

Quoted from hardware:

He won't sell at a loss, especially with Cointaker involved. Their support in ridiculous (in a good way).
He might keep whatever it sells for and the insurance claim pays the rest of the balance to replace the machine.
That's just an example of many ways It could be handled.
You would pay $8500 for a machine and have no problem fixing it yourself? You shouldn't have to do this PERIOD.
OP very sorry to hear about this.

I hope it works out. That would be amazing if Cointaker takes responsibility for something that is clearly the fault of the shipping company. In any case I would fix the problems and play it until it gets resolved, but that's just me.

Quoted from Tuna_Delight:

I have to disagree. Although I can absolutely understand how hard it would be to do so in this case, the best recourse if a game is damaged as this one was, is to take photos and do not accept the game. Put the onus of financial responsibility for its employees' ineptness on the shipping company and wait for a replacement thru Coin Taker and DP.

Of course. But the reality is DP does not have a warehouse full of games ready to ship so unless they step up and give you someone else's game it could be a long time before it gets replaced. Make the best of a bad situation. Hopefully the shipping company is reputable and will work to get this resolved so you at least see some money. I have dealt with freight companies before and it will come done to the fine print on the contract and the chain of ownership after it left the DP factory. Even then it's like pulling teeth to get them to do the right thing. Good thing is you have Cointaker fighting on your side which helps tremendously.
