It is massively deep. As in, the next deepest game is still only about as half as deep as TSPP. Go read the rule sheet at ipdb if you have a few hours to kill.
$3k is a very good price and you should never get rid of it. It will make you a better player, no matter what your skill level.

+1!
The colorful theme/PF invites you in, while the rulesheet/gameplay steals your wallet and slaps your grandmother across the face!
A routed game with typical wear is probably a break-even proposition. If you like the theme it is a no-brainer. Most average players(myself included) will probably never see everything the game has to offer. Every serious collection needs this machine IMO.
If not worn, you will easily get at least $3200 for it. I owned one, and while deep, bored me. I may be in the majority, but flippers and playfield felt cheap and toyish in construction. Sound package missing the women and audible not that great. Rules deep and cool. But not enough to save the game in my house. Again, opinions vary but nice price.
lol @ nimble....that definitely paints an interesting picture, especially since I'm going to see my grandma today.
Good feedback atomic and nimble! You guys make me want it asap. I'm gunna go check out the ruleset, I usually look at a PF and decide, but a game this deep, the rules should be checked out.
Pinbot, that was a pretty useless post...no reason to post if you don't like the question.
Thanks again guys! Got some research to do. Tough part is I may have to sell my wh2o to keep tspp long term, but it sounds like it may be worth it!
I got tired of waiting for a decent WH2O, so I picked up a TSPP a month ago based on everyone's praise. I think it is a decent pin, but I really wish I had waited for White Water. I guess once I figure out everything to do, it might seem better.
I picked up one for 3K, it needed to be totally shopped, all bulbs replaced, minor wear around flipper buttons, new plunger rod, rubbers, coil sleeves and various flipper parts. Itchy and Scratchy hole is fine.
Just shooting around isn't much fun on this game, you really do need to know what you are doing and how to do it. Some game you can just walk up to a get a feel for what to do after a game or two. TSPP is too complex if you want to get the most out of it. When all else fails just shoot the garage door and start modes and lock balls, but there is so much more to do on this game. I feel the same way when I play a TZ. I feel lost and not sure what it is that I am trying to do. If I had one and learned the rules I am sure it would be a totally different game.
As for getting some cash back if you sell it... I'm thinking you would be closer to breaking even. Figure rubbers, cliffy protector, lights, flipper rebuild if they need it, metal side rails to hide button wear, replace a ramp or the couch, get a few decals and other misc. stuff and you would be right about at the top of the routed price point. Plus add in your time. You shouldn't loose any money on it, but I don't think you will make any either. If you can clean it up and enjoy it then sell it for what you put into it I would do it.

I'm a big TSPP fan, but this is the one thing that has always bugged me about the game. How can you have a Simpsons game without any quotes from Lisa or Marge?

Agreed. Bugged me so much it was hard to overcome. Rules are deep and cool game for Simpsons fan (love reverse flippers mode) but the sound package was so lacking to me it added to the toy feeling. One of best rulesets though.
Only if you want it that badly KwiKi!
That is moving into "emotional buying" for that price...
I would say $3500 would be the high water mark for that pin.
There are usually more floating around CL for $3K-$3,300 in similar condition.
Good luck if you do score it though!

For HUO??? Not where I'm from... lucky you

Seriously! 
There was almost a month straight that there were TSPP HUO's popping up that went from $2800-$3500 with similar plays!
I didn't have the cash at the time, I would have pounced easily on those deals!
Would $4300 sound better as the "National" high HUO watermark then, AB?
