Do you like it, does it get old? I don't hear much about this one, so if you have one or have played one, please comment on it. Thanks gents.

I have one and I love it.
The game is kind of a one ramp wonder at times, but the side drop targets, the multiball modes, and the millions timer are all great. It's a shooter's game as it will punish you for being reckless with the ball. Ball times are fairly short, but the action is fast and if you're good at ball control you can dominate other players in the game. I love that the loop to loop scoring has its own high score table as well.
I've had one since about 1992 and it's probably not ever going anywhere. I keep it at my parent's house but I never go over there without playing it for a while. The theme is excellent, especially the voice acting and music. The art is great too.
I believe Lindsey has one and likes it, but it's his wife that really adores the machine.
Price varies. I see them go anywhere from the $500-$600 range up to around $1000 if they're nice. I'd say $800 or $900 is probably fair if you're not looking at a dirty machine and it doesn't have significant wear. Don't pay that much for anything with cosmetic issues though.
The game is a total cakewalk to maintain as well.

HAHA! This is true! I don't think I have a single score on the high score board. She started using Apu as the initials after a while because there was no competition. I wish I could say that's the only game...
It's a great game. $500 would be an absolute steal if it's working and in half decent condition (IMO). Where I live it's a $1200 game pretty easily. I wouldn't sell mine for that and it's kind of beat. Not that it's necessarily worth more... I just like it that much.
I've seen a few of them and the typical things I've seen are flaking cabinet paint and wear in non-mylared areas on the playfield. The powder coating on the wire forms also gets chipped from ball impacts. Then there are the typical DE things like burnt GI connectors, etc... The ramp is another potential problem but I actually haven't seen any in terrible shape. I have a spare complete ramp. It's the biggest continuous ramp I've ever seen so I jumped on a spare when I found one.
I find that the flippers are almost a little too strong on mine. It's a catch 22 because they need to be strong to make the ramp shot but mine destroys targets. I've broken more targets on that game than any other by far.
I offered him 5 bills. Thanks Jar.
That guy has been trying to get rid of that DE Simpsons pin for months.
You should be able to strike a quick cash deal.
Good luck Phet - post pics if you win it.
How's the Berzerk looking now?
