I’m not disclosing the seller’s name because we haven’t yet discussed this. How would you approach this?

ETA: the games were beautifully packed. This didn’t happen during shipping.

Yep. I feel like I paid a premium price but it wasn’t offered as a restored machine.

Experienced seller, 100% positive feedback

Because I didn’t want to go off half-cocked and actually wanted folks’ opinions. I’ll mention it to the seller and then let it go. Thanks to all for the input

I asked about the condition of the cabinet and received two exterior photos taken while the backbox was up. I’ve made my disappointment known and received an apology and I am moving on with my life.

I am so sorry about that I totally forgot about that screw hole inside the head being damaged. I usually only use one screw hole to hold the head down. Glad to hear you got the machines safely. Enjoy your new games!

This incident won’t be mentioned in the seller’s feedback because the listings are now archived.

It was represented as a players quality game. I don’t think he even said “shopped.” Probably he said “plays well” and it does. Photos showed a playfield and exterior cabinet in good shape, and they are. It’s a well-liked game that’s older than TAF, and I wanted it, so I accepted his price which I thought was too high. I don’t think we fault a seller for getting the best price he can.

If he had disclosed the damage I would have asked for a discount. He would have refused. And I would have bought it anyway. I was disappointed that I didn’t have that opportunity and I think he should have noticed and disclosed it while preparing to ship but it wouldn’t have changed the outcome.
