It is hard to judge the condition of a game without seeing it in person
But you can simply post on the forum of a game that interests you, everybody will chime in with a price range you should expect to pay
You can get a good, fun, first time buyers game for $2000-$2500
Prices asked by dealers will be higher due to them having to pay rent/staff
Thanks for chiming in Pop Bumper Pete,
