whether it has been redecalled or not doesnt matter, because if its been done properly, u wouldnt be able to tell whether its orig and minty or been redecalled and minty.

99% of so called mint, home use only, only had 200 games etc etc, are really just machines that have been restored. the one owner story that comes along i reckon is a great sales pitch designed to just empty more money from your wallet from the seller.

i say check the machine over real well. offer less $. the market is a little slow after xmas.
