There is one for sale locally for $2500. I have never played one, but the reviews on IPDB make it seem like it's one of the best playing pinballs ever. Anyone here played one? Also is $2500 a fair price?

I think it's the best Sega pin, that's for sure. The game sells pretty high, as it has a good theme, lots of fun shots, and the machine looks pretty impressive visually. I generally see them go between $2,200 and $2,500 depending on condition, but at times they'll dip right down to $1,500 just "because it's a Sega pin".
I probably wouldn't spend $2,500 on it, but I wouldn't say that anybody paying that much is getting fleeced, either.
Note: These tend to go MUCH cheaper on eBay, typically in the $1,500-$1,800 range for some reason.
I bought one last year for $1000 ..granted, it needed to be fixed a bit and shopped out...I ended up not wanting to bother since I knew it wasn't a keeper, and just sold it for $1100 (what I had into it...I had bought some parts and a new translight)
It's a good game - if you get it at a $1000-ish price. At $2500, no way. Batman Forever is kind of a "Poor Mans STTNG" ...for $2500, just get a STTNG!!!
(I think it's a cool LOOKING game, but the sound gets REALLY annoying. During the "?" Mode, every target hit plays the clip "RIDDLE ME THIS!" ...once you've heard that 50 times you wanna smash the game!)
We need to have this site stickied because it's tied into eBay and shows history.

I feel it's a more reliable source than polling here to small handful of KLOV members saying they would only pay X amount.
I do value your opinion, however I think preference of theme is really important in this case. I would choose Batman Forever over STTNG because STTNG's theme doesn't do much for me. BF looks like an awesome game, especially for fans of Batman. People on IPDB seem to think it's a pretty solid game all around as well.
