I have a Jet Spin for sale on the marketplace and I’m looking for opinions on the selection for “game condition”

It has been “fully shopped” new rubbers, all the bulbs work, cleaned, waxed, everything works 100%, new flipper rebuild done last month etc.

The selections I’m looking at are either “fully shopped/restored” or “Used, shows wear but works 100%”

Restored is the word that makes me pause at that selection.

Doesn’t really matter. Just make sure to have lots of well lit pictures in the ad.

Yeah, I stared at that for awhile when I sold my game. I don’t want my game to sound crappy but I don’t want to call it “restored” because that makes me think of those restore threads where you can see your reflection in every piece of metal.

I guess just pick what sounds closest and be up front with potential buyers.

Thanks. I know it doesn’t really matter. I was just curious what the community thought about those descriptors

The way I intepret fully shopped/ restored is fully shopped or restored. Not fully shopped and restored. Either or, not both. I think restored implies a full shop job is included in the work.

If i used that selection i would add what was done in the shop job in the description. Just like restored, “shopped” can have different meanings to different people.
