If he bought it on ebay "Sold as is" and there you cant even test it, nobody would argue that the seller is responsible to fix it... He tested it in the Store and it worked, that should have been the conclusion. You bought it and its your issue now.

      The deciding factor is that the slot machine worked fine for a few tries when he brought it back and then went to glitching.

      Yeah. He opened it up for sure, broke it, then called around for cost to fix it. Then had the idea to haggle the antique shop to pay half of the cost. Well his idea worked !!!
      My guess is he will do the same when buying a used car from a private seller.

I would point out to them this wouldnt happen unless it was dropped or knocked over. Then trying not to admit it, they would try to go half on the cost to fix it again or pay for the part needing replaced. Something tells me they were rough with it or something got loose in transit since it is an old machine.
