I think most people, definitely you and me, pay less than that for the whole thing so I would say it is overpriced. Probably not a ripoff though. If I had plenty of money I would probably just buy a really nice machine, but this might be a decent option as well. I don't think too many people want to spend the money on it though. A few months ago, he was asking $1200 for it. If CPR gets some nice repros out, I would guess he would have an even harder time trying to sell it for top dollar. I think NOS playfields for this pin are pretty rare and so far this is the only one I have seen available. It is nice though.
