I cant remember off hand but check the link above 
I think $800 is a good deal if the machine is in decent condition. Actually a pretty cool looking pin and a good pickup in that price range. I like it much more than TMNT.
Go take a look, pull out $600 cash and see what happens. That's my advice. Yup, I am also in Denver....
BTTF is a simple, but very fun machine. A very good beginner's machine. I would also try $600 depending on the looks, but $800 is a fair price.
I'd love to find a BTTF in good shape at that price. It's a very simple pin, but I like it a lot...and love the music on it!
sometimes simple pins just play so darn good they become the most played in the game room - strange in a way
BTTF is a great game. I don't like the feel of Data East machines personally, so I let mine go after a year. It really doesn't have a good "flow".
I do miss it, and would buy one again if a nice price like 800 came up, and it was in nice condition.
Awww man, that's too bad. Another will come along, don't worry. That would've been a cool one though..
I missed out on it pretty bummed. Thanks for the input comrads ...
Try not to let it get you down. Consider it a learning experience. At that price, it's hardly surprising that it sold so fast. One thing you will quickly learn is that you cannot hesitate when presented with a good deal. People in this hobby are vultures. Sometimes if you wait even an hour to think about it, three other people have already started a bidding war. You best bet is to get over there with cash in hand ASAP. Since you are new to the hobby, I realize it can be tough to recognize a good deal when you see one . Over time, however, it will become instinctual.
yeah great advice. im new to ownership but not to the game i have a pretty good idea of how to spot a good deal. what bummed me out the most is i called left a message 3 hours after the posting and never got a return call it was the guys work number. i tried again and they were closed. i called again in the morning and the first caller snached it. when i asked they guy why he didnt call me back he said he the recepionist never gave him the message. thats the bummer part i had the cash too. but hey im over it now and searching again. and yes pinballers are vultures. i must say i am liking the response i have gotten from people its great to talk with people that are obsessed like i am. thanks everyone 
thanks for the support guys. i went to the guys bussiness i thought he had it there. jus showed up all crazy guy no one would answer the phone waiting for the call. one guy got there before i did so we will see. if not i will get over it. again lol
