Don't get too hung up on the cosmetic side for your first pinball (unless it has major playfield wear down to the wood). A few cabinet dings or fade (most Getaways have lost the red colour in the cab) give a pin a bit of character.
For a first buyer, as long as the machine is 100% working electronically will be the most important aspect.
Nothing sours the taste faster for a new hobbyist than getting a pin home to find something on it doesn't work correctly. Then out comes the wallet to pay someone to do a house call to fix it.
With a bit of patience and persistence, you should be able to find a decent 100% working getaway with a few bumps and scrapes for around the $2200-2500 mark.
If you are picky and want something in a better quality condition (new cab decals, new parts etc) - obviously these cost money but more importantly labour so the price of this can quickly add up to the final sell price.
Edit: Okay just looked at the one on ebay you referred to. That is more than a few dings and scrapes - that cabinet is trashed. $2k offer or below for that one.
