The best way is to know how to look at the games. Studying your sega menus you will know how to check things in Segas, and I believe Sterns are the same basic menu (?), but knowing the menu systems is important. But before menus, it's juts using your eyes and really looking for defects and problem areas. These boards are full of info on gaem specific issues you can search before looking at whatever game you find on CL or whatever.
Quoted from Hollywoodbone:I assume the DE menus are close to sega as well? And thank you!
Maybe at the end but I refuse to touch DEs so I wouldn't know 
DMD era W/B are similar, they just look diff'rent but it's all the same "test" area and so on. These are just simple things you can do, go in the all lamp test so you don't notice a whole sting of lights is out you didn't notice before.
Quoted from Dooskie:It is more than worth it to pay 'just a hair too much' from a reputable dealer...
If his phrasing is accurate I agree with you, but I've never seen a dealer selling games just a c-hair over real street prices. The real deals are buying games from people and being able to fix them up...it's all part of the process.
