I picked mine up for 1400CAN, (everything is more expensive up here, especially in BC) no fade, playfield in really good shape,and needed a little bit of tweaking. I've since got it running almost to my liking (waiting for a few parts from BAA to come in) and I love the game. A lot of the complaints you hear about the game (search BR on RGP and you'll find a few 'worst game EVAR' threads) come from the cannon, which I think is a really cool toy, provided it's setup correctly. Also read that people think the music is annoying, I think it's one it's best features, with about 5 different songs that it'll play depending on the scenario, all of which are catchy IMO. Pirate theme = sweet, for a relatively inexpensive game I think it's a great pickup.
*edit* Video modes are kinda lame actually, but quick and don't disrupt the continuity of the game.
