So I finally (after 2 weeks) land a buyer at my house to buy my multicade. Everything is going great. I'm showing him how it works, showing him all the new arts, showing him the boards and guts, etc, etc. Then I baby step it over to the SUV to load up. Just before I go to slide it in, I give it one last plug in to feel safe. I fiddle with some other stuff on my workbench, then I hear "Uh, something is broke." I freeze in my tracks.
Sure enough, despite the thing working 100% perfectly for the two weeks that I've had it assembled and playing at home, the monitor's blue levels are way off the hook. My heart drops. I've already got cash in hand. I fiddle with a few wires, and same thing. The blue will come on heavy, then after you shake the machine a bit, screen goes back to normal. As long as you don't shake it too hard, everything is fine. I couldn't find the problem, didn't have the energy or the time to pull the chassis and look closer. I tell him, "Sorry but it looks like you've come along way for nothing, let me give you you're cash back." But then he says, he'll take a gamble on it. We agree on reducing the price another $60 (after I've already reduced the price $40 for his gas about 1.5 hours away).
I guess my question is: do you guys feel $60 is an appropriate amount of money to reduce for the K7000 that had intermittent blue levels going crazy? I was more than happy to reduce to sell on the spot, and I'm also satisfied with the end price of the sell. But do you think I should have lowered even more? Less? Fair? Do I need to divulge pics or final seling price for accurate opinions from you guys?
I guess I just feel super bad. Because I really wanted this thing to be sold as 100% perfect (especially after the monitor was just freshly capped). Now it was sold with a known issue.
