I paid 1500 for mine, and I've seen super nice ones go for 2200.

My friend sold his this past summer for $1800. Like all pins you see them with all kinds of outrageous price tags. Saw one today on Craigslist the guy wants $2995 which is way too high IMO.

1400 fully working but rough cosmetics to 2400 for super nice.

Yep.

$1,500 is a fair price..

I just paid $1800 for mine. Has the second speaker upgrade, some LEDS, replaced some DMDs that were out, outside looks good as well. Should get it in about a week or two and I couldn't be more excited. "I'm from Buenos Aires and I say Kill em all"!!!

"Paid" $500 for mine...traded a mame machine I bought for $500 for it. Fun game! My wife and I play it nearly every night. Run the diagnostic tests and you should be fine. There are cliffys for it, so if there is hole wear it can be covered up.

Would be great if it already had LEDs in it because removing all the plastics and the huge ramp assembly is a hassle to reach all the upper GI bulbs.

Expect to pay a decent amount for it UNLESS you are willing to wait. There are not that many out there it seems.

I wouldn't personally pay more than $1500, but if you need it NOW, $1800 is probably okay.

And, for the record, I have one. Paid far less than the $1500 within the last year for it, but it's also a pretty extreme project. Spent more than 40 hours shopping it, mostly to clean the TON of grease someone slathered all over the flipper mechs off. I still need to do some board work on it too.

Dang man. Sorry to hear it. There's one here FS in MI....
