Sited or HUO, makes no difference as long as the machine is in good condition. I have seen sited games that are near mint and I have seen so called huo machines treated poorly.
It just shows how much $$$ are lost after buying a nib stern machine, with the exception of a few le titles and some other games like sm and im. All other titles I see are losing $$$ on resale. Don't get me wrong, nib day is very cool but if the loss is around a grand or more on most titles just to open a box and play it first I don't see that as good value.
This makes buying a nib stern for the $$$ asked over here in this country a way less attractive proposition than waiting and buying a 2nd hand game when they come on the market and sooner or later they all hit the market.
Common sense, just like sales for cars, motorcycles, anything really. When buying brand new, unless they are limited editions/rare or there is more demand than supply, they will all depreciate in value, such is life
