I was going to post exactly the same link. F14 for $1000 is a great pin for a good price.
Plenty of great pins out there for $500-$1500.
In the last few months, I've bought (from Pinsiders in the USA)
Gorgar - mint $1100
Future Spa - 800
Firepower 2 - 500
And about 5 more all at reasonable prices.
Shop around, the deals are there.
