I've got to agree with the comments above. It's a fun game and I enjoyed owning one for almost a year. At under 2k, it's certainly worth picking up and you'll have no problem selling it when you've had your fill. At 3k+, there are so many better games in that price range. While the ruleset is pretty simple, there's enough to do to keep the game fun for a while. The Hurricane ramp shot is a lot of fun, the Clown Time frenzy mode is pretty frantic and the multi-ball mode provides a good challenge. I found the carnival music a bit grating after a short while, but the animations and call outs are entertaining.
When I sold mine about a year ago, I had several calls on it in just a few days. It ended up selling for a little under $2000. Machines in good playing condition under 2k seem to move pretty fast in this area.
