Quoted from ovfdfireman:

A couple considerations when buying used over new. Used may have a surprise, small issue or cosmetic flaw you were not aware of (issues can be warranty on new) The other, what happens if used is damaged during the freight process? Who will resolve the issue? Just something you may want to work out ahead of the deal.

Exactly. I bought a used one that was supposed to be "like new" and "have had a playfield protector from day one". Well, the previous owner had a) tried to raise the outline wires and chipped the playfield in the process and b) dropped something sharp twice to the playfield in such manner that it had punctured holes through the playfield protector and damaged the playfield. That's "like new" to you. It is different if you can go and inspect the machine by yourself of course, I had my used one shipped from abroad to me.
