I would think 1,000 to 1,500 would get you any of these. Maybe a little lower on east coast.

It would be tough to find edb or Harlem globetrotters for under $1500 around this area, unless you get really lucky with Craigslist...

Really? While I really like playing HGT I would think it was more of a $1K unless restored.

The last couple I've seen on cl around here in the 1k range were gone rather quickly. Like others have said, I wish I was on the east coast, it seems like better deals out there with a greater pin supply. We're kind of on the edge of the prairie here, not much to be found west of Minneapolis till you get to Denver....

Out of hundreds of titles, El Dorado/Gold Strike are the ultra-cliches of the EM community (along with Atlantis (could stop here, those two/three are the big big ones), Jacks Open/Lucky Hand, and Centigrade 37), expect to pay quite a lot for one in any condition

(Unfortunately you fell in love with a title that everybody else also highly wants)
