Hi Jason,
IJ is a very popular machine and there are generally available.
What state are you located in?
My best advice is to not necessarily chase a game just because of the theme...unless its a game you've played lots before.
If not, then I suggest heading to one of the dealers and play as many games as you can (of different pins) and see what you keep coming back too!
Re price - depends on quite a few things...If you're happy to learn and work on it yourself - expect to pay $3000+. For one thats fully done up they seem to go for in excess of $5,000+

Depends on how they are wrapped!
BUT things can go wrong during transport - ie wires breaking away from solder etc...
Is the pin from a dealer or private sale?

private seller , im a bit scared as i dont wanna spend all dat$ an not have d pinny workn when it gets here,any tips on purchasing machines
-
There's one on the NSW central coast for sale for $4200. It used to belong to a member on this forum, and it's a really nice example.
$3500 sounds like a good price. But you'll need to add freight to that. Plus determine the condition compared to the one in NSW.
IJ is an excellent machine, and would be a beauty as your first.

wat about sttng pinny , which would u purchase if its ur first machine
-
Personally out of those 2. IJ, as ST'TNG doesn't interst me as a theme, and the game could potentially be a mechanical nightmare for a newb. Well they all could be i guess. But that game is a little more complex than most.

Tough call....
In Melbourne we are blessed with lots of dealers with great showrooms - with games on freeplay.
Maybe some of the Syd folk can suggest somewhere you can go to play to make your choice?
