When you are looking at buying or selling a game, what does the phrase “needs a shop job” mean to you?
Thanks for all the responses. It confirmed my suspicion that the term can cover a lot of ambiguous ground. I’m still holding with my working understanding of “shop job” as an adjustment of functional playfield components in conjunction with a deep cleaning, new rubber and the replacement of any burnt out light bulbs.
Going further than that (total topside tear down, board work, fixing broken mechs) is deeper work than needing to be shopped out.
Totally agree with everyone who expressed some variation on the idea that detailed disclosure as to what was done to or needs to be done to a game is vastly preferable to just saying “recently shopped” or “needs to be shopped”.
