Needing a display kinda sucks to be sure, but the rest of the stuff is par for the course in my experience. Full shop out and a little touchup is needed on most every game I have ever bought. New plastics and ramps are usually needed, or you have to settle for a chip and a crack here and there and yellowing plastics. Not trying to be argumentative, but 1500 don't sound too out of hand to me. The seller will likely get what he is asking or close. I base this opinion on a PF that has a couple of wear spots and not a blown out PF.

Look at it this way Scott. If a 1500 dollar ES popped up on the Minneapolis CL, I would be all over it like stink on shit, but I would be 4th in line if the add was 2 hrs old. Maybe other areas would be less competative, I don't know. I do know that Blackbeard has bought a lot of nice system 11 games over the years and knows what he is doing too.
