I'd say it's at least 1k too high, but what do I know?

Holy moly...if you're gonna spend that much, get a good game!

DE Batman should be $1500 MAX

Way to high for that title plus likely to have 300-500 on top of that for shipping costs.

Dont do it... Way overpriced!

and you really need to see this one in person...the playfields are almost always worn to hell and there are lots of potential plastic breakage spots

CE Batman is a real turd of a game, not worth that kind of money.

Update your profile with your location, and I'm sure someone regional will have a nicer game to offer for sale. NEVER buy Ebay as your first pin. Even the experienced guys/gals get fleeced from ebay sales time to time.

A guy in Lorton, VA is trying to sell a DE Batman for $1400. Don't know the condition, but from the pictures it looked good. Try searching Washington, DC craigslist.

...or your 2nd or 3rd....or ever. lol

If you're a Batman fan, that particular pin is usually considered the worst of the 3 Batman pins. I've owned Sega Batman Forever and it's enjoyable, though usually in need of upgraded flipper coils and LED work. I think you could probably get it cheaper than what the seller is asking for that DE Batman pin. Definitely try to buy from fellow collectors.

$1250 tops for a DE Batman.

In my experience, eBay is one of the worst prices to get pins. Sometimes it can be the only option is there are no shows or collectors around you. But always deal with caution on eBay. Unless you can go and physically look at the pin, you never really know what you might get.

The artwork is very appealing to me, being based one of my favorite Batman movies. That being said, there isn't a lot of depth in the game to keep me interested. The batcave seems like it kills the flow and some of the toys on the playfield are cheesy. If you can find one to play, give it a shot; otherwise, that price is way too high for something you have not played before. Trust me, I almost bought one based on artwork alone.

I own one of these and will confim that the price you quoted is way to high. It's a good family pin but not one for those looking for a challenge. It is by far the most played pin I have when we have friends and family over (before TFLE showed up 2 weeks ago) mainly because it's not real hard and the music is great. Not a good pin for a small collection though.

Mine is above average and has very little playfield wear, I've replaced the ramp, full LED upgrade, plays perfect, new decals and replaced all broken plastics. I even have a spare playfield for it (though not in good shape) and I wouldn't even come close to asking that much for mine. I'd let it go for $1500 as someone else mentioned but much less than that it would be a keeper for me.

Not sure if that helps or not but I would pass on that deal.

i had a chance to buy one here locally for $1000 and passed because it was rough. Even a super nice one would only fetch $1200 on a good day.

I'll just agree with everyone else here. It's easily the third best of the three Batman games, with Forever and DK being about equal in my book - I find issues with both of them, but they both have amazingly cool things on the playfield - Forever has the sweet multiball eject ramp that goes under the flippers, and DK has the best toy in pinball - the crane.

The original Batman does have the best art package of the three I think - I do like BF's, but it is based on BF after all, so I'll knock it down and give it to the original because of that

BF is awesome tho, because it has a great layout and awesome ruleset.

I don't know Neo, if one showed went for sale w/ a minty playfield , I can see it going north for that price. I can only imagine if a Batman NOS playfield showed up on Ebay; I bet easily that it would fetch 1 - 1.5k+

I'm picking up one this weekend (thanks Pete)! I've been looking FOREVER for one to my liking! Finally said screw it. Next one I see for sale (reasonably close, I'm snagging). BTW: It's probably coming to you Neo in the near future for resto work....

Nice to see another fan of Burton's rendition of the Batman franchise. Still is my favorite interpretation! While I do love the original.. Batman Returns is my favorite of the franchise. Screw you Data East for missing the boat!

S-T-E-A-L-T-H C-O-A-T

Best pinball marketing slogan!

IT's so hard to find a Batman with a good playfield. I think if there was a minty one, it's such a rare item, that it might fetch even 2k. With perfect cabinet and backglass.

i would pay 2k for a minty fresh De Batman! not joking MINTY hit me up.

how much would you pay for a Minty Tommy? Looks HUO inside and out.
