Those who try and sell at this price are pitching to Star Wars theme collectors, not pinball people and the sellers are likely Star Wars theme collectors themselves.
After I sold mine, I got an email from some guy in France who said he was a SW nut. He had the other three SW themed games and **had*** to have an ESB. I recall his email "I think you are my only hope to get one." So I emailed back tongue in cheek "Help me pinnies4me, you're my only hope!" He didn't seem to get it, so I started to wonder if he was a scammer!!

Frenchy stuffed me around for months - first he was going to organise shipping, then he wanted me to pack and ship blah blah - so I quoted him a price all up and told him to get me the funds and I'd do it - sure enough, never heard from him again.
