Quoted from Whysnow:I am guessing this is a restoration, given the limit info combined with the price.
Price is all about condition. There is a whole market of collectors that have silly money (compared to most of us) and are more then happy yo pay top dollar for nice examples of collectible games.
I agree. I remember around 10 years ago when a guy had a Fathom restored to a ridiculous level. CPR playfield, original perfect backglass, repro cabinet, perfect metal finish etc. It was probably the nicest one in existence. The guy listed it for 6k one day, and the exact type of thread as this one proceeded to take place. I think it eventually sold for close to that price, but I might be wrong.
