Ok, let's assume a pinball can actually be classified as perfect (even though anything 20+ years is going to have issues, unless it's been completely disassembled, checked completely (every circuit, every piece of hardware polished). Usually teardowns like this cost $3-4k just in labor alone. It looks like this guy is selling what perhaps might have been HUO. Fine, probably in "Good" condition, but not perfect. In fact, let's look at the photos. The left one shows some obvious paint missing, and perhaps a chip on the lower left corner of the backbox (hardly perfect). And then look by where the flipper buttons are, obvious wear from hands slapping the buttons (not perfect). "This is one of the 3,000 that was made I was told"? really? that's like saying "this 1989 mustang is one of 100,000 that were made I was told". Yea, it's called a production run, and anyone that's buying a pinball can look that up on the database.
I'm not saying this isn't a good example of a BTTF pin, I'm sure it is. But PERFECT? hardly. And his ridiculous $3k asking price is never gonna happen. It's a non DMD data east game, this would never sell for even half the price. Also as much as I love the BTTF trilogy, this pin is a pretty big turd as far as gameplay (and repetitive soundbites).
