Looking for Getaway again, mine went missing from my basement so I need another one, barely had the game finished for a week   

So if someone has one that they are interested in parting with let me know.

Paying up to 2K for the right machine

I can't figure out if you are just completely inept when it comes to understanding the pinball market or you just like throwing in your personal opinion on what YOU think the market for pins is like.  

Anyone else here who would pay 2k for a getaway?!  speak up now!

Why not if you want the machine. You can fart around for less and maybe end up with one. It could be rough too, but if your willing to put up decent offer you'll probably get a machine and a decent one at that.

If you want to wait sure you might get lucky, but you hedge your bets with a few hundred, I don't see any issue with it.

I know of a very nice (unshopped) one that sold recently for $1900, the average price seems to be $15-1600. All depends on condition. $2K for a really nice one is not ridiculous IMHO, especially if there is no fade.

Your probably $150 low on that range. Sure there are exceptions but what the hell is $150 on a machine? It can cost more for a couple to go out for dinner these days than that. Have a balony sandwich instead and find yourself a machine.

I would. Your assessment of fair price has consistently been out to lunch as of late. I think Adam's price is realistic.

I have tried to find a nice GetAway for a very long time in the $1,800 range and haven't found one. I missed the one that sold at $1,900 or I would have jumped on it. A nice GetAway in the $1,500 to $1,800 range is very difficult to find. As time goes on, I think B title games in good condition will start to demand a higher premium.

I don’t have the experience you guys have but I’ve been chasing one down for over 6 months.
I looked at 4 & the price were all 2K & the condition was not good, I got real tired of waiting for a deal but had to put my offer out there on what I would pay for one in nice condition.
I paid over market for mine but at the end of the day I got one & I’m now happy. No more driving hours wasting gas, time that cost me just adding to the overall price.
Yeah & ordering parts that also could cost in the many hundreds of $$$$

who's inept now?! ...and the last one I bought was 750$

Remember we are talking a nice GetAway. I saw the LOTR ME bought. Price definitely reflected condition. So, sure you can get a GetAway cheap, but it will have insert wear and the cab will be faded. Adam wants a nice cab and nice playfield.

The LOTR example is not meant to offend. I'm just using it as an example. The Drac you just sold is another example. Yes, the game was cheap, but it wasn't working and had cab issues. Sure you can find a deal occasionally, but normally the reason something is priced low is due to condition.
