Have a possible t2 I am looking at. It has been routed but in good shape and works. What's a good buy price? $1500.

yes. There are a million T2s around I wouldn't pay more than that for a routed one.
Lots of them are pretty beat up so prepare the "this game is beat up" spiel. Be ready to point out the toasted connectors/GI wires soldered directly to boards, the skull insert wear, playfield wear near flippers, cracked/missing skull and HK ship, broken sling plastics etc (yes I've had a lot of T2s lol)
Honestly a fresh off route one I'd be aiming for $1,000 or why bother (unless it's super nice under all the dirt). You can get a nice ones from collectors for not much more than that.
I overpaid for my T2 at $2400. It was my first pin but its in pretty good shape with only 1 broken plastic I didnt notice until I got it home. Cabinet is not great but it had a few mods so I'm not too upset.
For $1500 you cant really get burned as they've been going around here in good shape for $1700-$2100.

I agree with this. With how often these come up for sale, if you are patient, you can find some very nice ones for not much more that what you are thinking of paying for this one.
Good luck finding one these days under $1500. More likely $1700 - $2000. I just took one in trade and still didn't get lower than that.
I wouldn't pay more than 1700 for a nice one. Owned one a couple years ago. Gone in 3 months. Didn't think it was that great.
Crazi Levi is dead on.
Unless you are a Terminator theme fan, have patience.
Biggest issue for me with T2, besides being too easy, is this.
Demo Man is 3 times the pinball, at practically the same cost, maybe $200-$300 more.
A lot more bang for your buck.

I need to sell my T2 soon don't let the secret out 
T-2 is one of my favorite machines to play when I am in no condition to take on some of the others. I paid around 2k for a very nice one.
Thanks for the responses guys. No broken plastics. Again, pretty nice shape. Not a total beater at all. Ill post pics when acquired. I had one before but paid $600 bucks for it. times have changed.
Prices are kept down by condition...very hard to find nice examples. Really nice ones are going $2200 to $2500...if mods, add to that price. With a new Terminator movie getting ready to hit the cinemas, look for prices to increase.

Nah. Prices increased absolutely $0.00 dollars when the last couple of films came out, and this new one looks to be even worse. That franchise is heading into 4th Planet of the Apes sequel territory.

Um... wasn't there only one movie since this game came out?
Quoted from gac:Um... wasn't there only one movie since this game came out?
Two. Genisys will be the third since T-2. Rise of the machines, Resurrection, and Genisys.

That looks to be very nice and a possible CC playfield. I would pay 3k for a very nice example.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Nice. looks like a good find there Scott.
It was part of a nine pin trade I did...

Whoa. That is crazy. You are going to have to tell me about that at the next league event.
