Getaway 2 - Why has this still not sold?

Been watching this one for a while now. I think it started at  $3800 and at its first of 3 price drops to $3600 I thought it was pretty good buying, then $3400 for a while now $3000. Am I missing something or is this a bargain?

If I had the space it would already be in my games room.

Very strange if it was in SA would be long gone

Without sounding like I'm picking holes ;

Non original translite
Cabinet has typical fade

For $3,000 - it is a good price and should have gone by now. I heard a dealer was asking for $4,999 for a Getaway that was not as good as this example.

I picked the translate and cabinet fade as well but still thought it was pretty good, especially with todays prices.

Absolutely. An original translite should be available, and the faded decals don't affect gameplay.

Mate I've got an original translite in pretty good condition if you snap the machine up..

This is from the guys from tilt amusements that tried to set up a barcade in Tulla. Were asking quite reasonable prices on their other games so could be a win for someone?? Dunno why not sold except for maybe they had other titles more appealing at one stage like elvira, iron man  that went for $5k each.

So what is the average for one of these, I may need to sell mine in the near future.
Faded cab, all LED playfield, nothing major broken, all tests pass.

I'd say you could expect 3 - 3.25k for yours. Maybe a bit more if someone was really keen
