First I want to thank everyone who commented on my post for Demolition Man. I will not be picking it up for the $2550 the individual was asking for.

I would like to get the best possible pin I can for my money. So I am turning to the community to get ideas on just which quality machines you would be looking to pick up if you had up to $2700 to spend? I believe games like Creature from the Black Lagoon and White Water are out of my price range, but would like a game that is as fun with as much depth and appeal as those.

I have almost no experience with fixing them, so a fixer upper wouldn't really be an option. I would like to get one in as good a working condition as possible. Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

I'll keep an eye out for your upcoming listings. I can see being interesting in any of those

CFTBL, WH2O, AFM, MM, TZ, AddamsFamily, SS, MB, PinBot, JackBot

I want to thank everyone again for all your ideas. I've started attempting to use Pinside and Craigslist exclusively for my search and stay away from eBay. You guys have also introduced me to some games I should be keeping an eye out for that I hadn't been before.

I saw those, but I don't recall anyone making a strong recommendation for it. Would you recommend it? I see the prices are wide apart and both seem high for the average on Pinside. What is a fair price to offer?
