Selling a HEP game is like selling a beautifully restored car, you just are not going to get out every last $ that you paid; only a matter of how much of a hit you are willing to take. Been there, done that with cars and unless it is rare, you will take a hit! Having said that, being the one having the work done is all part of the experience as you make the decision on exactly what you want done. So, a fresh restore makes it your own, a restore done earlier gets you the game faster and at a reduced cost.
