Quoted from SuperPinball:Although I tend to agree that an average DW is a 3k game, I do put more value in a machine that has been restored especially with new parts. I don't add much value for the labor though. For example, new side decals adds the cost of the decals but not the labor to install them. LED's is the cost of the bulbs but not the labor to install them etc. Cleaning a game does not add much value since most pinheads know and enjoy cleaning and waxing their own machines. It's nice if it is already clean but it only adds a couple of hundred bucks extra maybe but not a thousand.
I totally get it. For me, adding mods or LED's isn't justifiable enough to increase the purchase price. The general condition of the game is what I use when assessing value. This DW is a great example with little/no fade on the cab, great pf, everything works etc. Does a shopped vs unshopped game command more value? Sure, but the difference shouldn't be so great that you are labeling it as "restored" (not talking about this specific machine). But I digress, OP said he was willing to work with a buyer; GLWS.
