Yea, but HUO (Home Use Only) has a very specific meaning - it's just that lots of people lie like rugs about it.
'Shopped' on the other hand, can mean pretty much whatever you want it to mean and therefore makes the term useless even if the guy using it isn't 'lying'.
If they don't say what they did, then they didn't do anything.

I pretty much agree with Lyonsarcade's assessment.
Get the thing ready for the use and abuse that it will take. If it's going out for home use (as most sales are), you can let some things slide since it' won't get as much use (in theory).
Although it is always good to ask exactly what was done by the seller.
I would never assume that a monitor has been recapped if a machine has been shopped. In many cases, the monitor may not have needed a re-cap. So why would a seller want to re-capp a monitor for no reason?
As for pins, it should be new rubbers, blown lights replaced, any worn/broken plastics or features replaced, Playfield brought up to spec, and any other adjustments made.

I've never found "HUO" to be a helpful / useful term anyhow.
It's not like people don't beat the crap out of their machines at home. Not to mention that home-use machines sometimes have shoddy hack work done inside.
