I would think 2450 is high especially if this was a few years ago. I like the pin and its rare and even more rare to find one not faded on the side. The more I think about it I would not sell mine for that so maybe its a good deal.
I found another one for $3,000 lol Ehh. Issue is these dealers price gouge everything. I think they have a price spinner and they just give it a spin and whatever it lands on is what they charge. If these dealers milked a cow the milk would be blood red.
So looks like I wont be buying it. After shipping, it would be over $3k and that's F_cking crazy. My wife really loves it and we have a Persian cat. Any excuse to get a new pin is fine by me. Also trying to sweat talk her to like the idea of putting a pin in the living room. Dont think she will let that one fly lol. Hell if it was up to m eI would have pins in my kitchen, bathroom and closets lol
I HIGHLY doubt I will see one on CL anytime soon. I wish their was an amazon prime for pinball with free 2 day shipping lol.
Here is the link to the pin. They claim the cabinet has (zero) fade. And the flash on the camera makes it look faded. http://www.careyscatering.com/ProductCart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=133&idcategory=3
I would pay up to $2k flat. But not $3k however, I want the damn pin! lol
I have a player's condition Bad Cats in Landisburg, PA that I'd sell for $1000, or $1200 including the new plastic set I just ordered from CPR.
Lots of wear between the flippers; bright cabinet with some bad touch-ups; mechanically in good shape, although the playfield could use a going-over.
I'd be willing to prep the game for NAVL.

If it is really in clean shape and great while 2500 would be a bit high, it might not be for long. It is a rarer game. Players condition probably half that. I paid less for mine but it needed work, still need to fix the wheel and had to buy a backglass. Won't let go of it though. Will likely either have PF restored professionally or get the CPR repro when it comes out.
Quoted from Tsskinne:$1500 in Indy even with shipping be cheaper, interested let me know I get you contact info.

PM's sent 
Quoted from PINBELL:How much was the one at Chicago expo last year? Wasn't it like $1250?
$1,200 I think? Jeez, I bought it and now I can't even remember!
I couldn't get rid of mine for $1k two years ago and it was in great shape. Maybe a $1400 pin now, but the speach call " BAAAAD CATS" still haunts my sleep. ~SpOoKy

One sat here for $600 & took for ever to sell.
Quoted from Jean-Luc-Picard:Sigh, wish I could find one around my neck of the woods for that.
That is a pinball I have all ways wanted. I love cats and have had them for pets for over 30 years. If this pinball is one you will keep for a long time and it is in excellent condition. And you know when you do sell it that you may not get your investment back. Then I say BUY The nice one. Fuck it. That is what I would do. If this fits your mind frame. Otherwise buy the worn out one I suppose.

I just checked out photos . That Bad Cats is in good shape. Did you contact the seller? Make an offer of 2,500 shipped . To your home. Let us know what he says.

I emailed them, but no response. It was a dealer so I doubt the price is negotiable. However two fellow Pinsiders have contacted me and we may have a deal on one of them for $1500+shipping. I certainly am interested in "good" condition. Especially for a pin with such fun artwork. I convinced my wife to let me put it in the living room since my arcade room is now full. haha It helps that this pin is very popular for woman and all cat lovers. I wonder what "Ewok" our Persian cat will think of the sound fx. I bet he will go crazy lol

It was my wife's idea to have ours in the living room. We have a DW in here as well though that will likely go in my office/game/music room. Definitely a fun pin and the one most people play when they come over.
There has been a few around that price but they seem to go fast. I have missed two in the last three months between 1200-1500. Just be patient and I bet one will turn up.
I spent 1200 on mine and it's really faded. Lots of broken plastics (but I got the new set) and some minor flaking on the back glass right behind a few bulbs. Also the variable target does not work as a variable target. It was hacked to be a single hit. Not sure what this means for you, but mine is totally playable and is perfect for me at the price I paid. I wouldn't give it up for 2500. I love it.
2 weeks later
I found one near my house!! Woot!!! However... (2) broken sling plastics. And the reproduction plastics seem to be sold out at every site I check. anyone know where I can score a set?
Quoted from wayout440:Good score. (IMO finding local seems to always make the price better) This game is high on my grail list too.
They sure are hard to find. Even harder to find one close to home. If this pin did not need new plastics I would say it was a good price. Since I need to buy a $178 set I would say the pin was over priced by $200 but since its rare to find one without playfield damage I guess Its worth it. Really hope everything else is fine. Will find out Sat when I pick it up. As far as I know its only the plastics and this cat needs a bath but should clean up well
