These are fair prices? They look about as "stock" as the photos. You might want to search harder

You can do a lot better than those prices.

That site looks out of date.

Rumor, Stern may be working on a Batman 60s edition.

Batman, yes

$4500 is about average from what I've seen

If you want one right now, you may have to go with a dealer like them. If you're willing to wait, you should be able to find one for less. You can post a wanted ad on here for something in your area and you may get lucky. You could also go to some shows coming up and check out games for sale there. You may even find something better than TDK.

Edit: Looks like you have a wanted ad. Have you played the game before or do you just like the theme?

Stern is good about support, but if you're that worried about it be sure to set aside about $400 for any repairs. They all break, sometimes constantly.

Have a few bucks around in case you need to call a pinball repair person.

There's a bunch of dealers you could call to see if they have one but be warned their price will likely be higher than you could get from an individual. I've never heard of the dealer you listed. There located in Louisiana so it would be hard to go check out the game.

Tilt Amusements in Ohio
Great American Pinball in Chicago
Automated in Conn.

GAP shows a TDK in stock but you may have to call them to check.

LOL. Any game I see 3 times locally for sale in one year I'd consider very common. The prices you pay when your looking for a title are different than the ones you pay if you're seeking the game out.

If you buy a game retail, I'd do it from a local retailer. You are paying for service, warranty etc, a local shop will be in a much better position to help you when the game breaks. No, It doesn't mean cross country shops can't call a local tech, I just think you're service is better if their techs are local.
