That looks pretty nice. At least what's visible from the two pics.
As with any game, run switch and solenoid tests. A few RS specific thoughts.
Check that both Red and Ted heads work, mouths and eyes. Those are a pain.
Check that the dozer blade works and that the sensors in front and behind it detect the ball. There's also a third eddy sensor right in front of Red.
The area on the playfield just in front of the kickout hole gets a lot of wear. Look for wear near the fish picture.
Not sure what a fair price is these days with pinflation. The posted price looks a little high to me.

Quoted from jjbeck12:

Apparently the guy selling them has been routing them so I don't know if that's a reason to avoid them or if it's not a big deal.

No big deal. 99.9999999% of 90's games were routed at some point. Condition matters, location doesn't. Better care and maintenance by a knowledgable operator than an ignorant homeowner.

All three great games. Get the one that you like best.
