Not sure how far you want to travel, but here is a T2 and Earthshaker at $2500, $2000 respectively.

Id think about chasing after one myself if I hadn't just brought Harry home. . . the itch for a new pin was recently scratched. . . but it never seems to completely go away. . .
Quoted from snyper2099:I agree with Dirty Harry and WCS for the win right now. A decent BSD with fade just sold on Pinside for 2600 but I usually see them higher.
i agree with both of these, but are they really $2500 games? WCS would be my overall choice if found at that price.
Quoted from pezpunk:i agree with both of these, but are they really $2500 games? WCS would be my overall choice if found at that price.
I'd happily sell my wcs for more than 2500 lol

I just turned down a mint WCS for $2400, out of room, what a shame. Not sure what condition Whirlwind you can get for $2500, they are usually more expensive. With a bit of luck you can get a nice Judge Dredd, which I think is the best in that $2500 category.
Quoted from Tazmans:I have a chance to get an Earth Shaker for $2200, needs cleaning, LED's, rubbers. but all works. What do you think? Im trying for $2000
Es is fun, but you can do better
Quoted from Chisox:Earthshaker is fun but I'd hold out for a Whirlwind for a little bit more in that category. I think it's twice the game Earthshaker is.
I own both and couldn't agree more.
Whirlwind is one of my favorite games.
Quoted from Tazmans:Thank you guys, I apprecitae it, I guess I now need to look for a Whirlwind
You should be open to what is available in your price range, it can take a lot of time if you just set your sights on one pin. Almost everything in the top 100, even 200 are good fun pins and many come up in your price range

This is some of the best advice you can get ever.
I got nearly my entire collection by not using any wanted ads, only ever made one I think. Keep a big wishlist (open mind) in your head and jump on games when the prices are right or better. They come cheaper if you're not prying them out of somebody's collection too. When people are ready to sell the prices will be a lot cheaper.
Quoted from keys88:BSD is by far the best in the class.
Just picked up a really nice BSD for $2600 that was on the market for a while. Incredible pin for the price.

Yeah that one was a killer deal. You should be happy. I play BSD every night hunting for the "30 MILLION".

Don't discount Earthshaker just because Whirlwind is better. I traded my Earthshaker for a Whirlwind and always regretted it. You never know what you will like until you play it. $2200 does seem a little high, but I think I've seen that one for sale it looks pretty nice.
add another vote for HS2 and WCS. I think they are both great pins for the price. Both definitely in that sweet spot of fairly modern DMD pins that can found at reasonable prices. I have those two in my collection and they're not leaving anytime soon as I don't think I can get enough for them to justify it. I'd actually love to find another similar type of pin in the $2500 range to add to it. Most of the titles mentioned in here would be great.
