You can find them sub-1000 if you look REAL hard, but it seems like most of these are in pretty good condition. That's number 4 and numer 5 I've seen listed in Texas in the last few months, and none of them looked like beaters from the pictures. Know seeing it in person often tells a vastly different story.
If I could find one for 800$, I would've already bought it, because I know my kid would get a kick out of it, and I've watched gameplay vid enough to know it won't go in one door out the other.
