Quoted from Archytas:Genuine question, but why do people who sink tons of money into a pin believe they should not only make what they spent back, but also a good profit on top?
Example, I buy a pin for 2k because it's worth 2k, if I sink 4k of parts, time etc rebuilding it does that magically make it worth 6k?
I've put time into games and generally I make a loss because I know I'll never recover the time and parts spent on it, usually I can recover some of the parts costs but that's it. A games only worth so much and if you go massively over what it's worth in time and parts, that's your decision to do that. Why should you expect someone else to foot the bill? (Unless they've paid for a high end resto, but that's a different story.)
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.
