To each their own. 3,500 is high for any machine when using general feedback from a web site. If you play the game, like it, want one that looks brand new, and feel it's worth it then it is. If you think it's garbage then obviously it doesn't matter what the price is, move on.
When I say it looks HUO, it's because, there it's clean as it would be getting pulled out of a box. No dings, dents, scratches, cabinet fade, hole wear, ball lane wear, and shines like new, that statement is not "bubcus".
Either way I have plenty of offers that don't think my statements are bubcus, and from people that LIKE the game.
