As the moderator stated there are various markets out there.

I look at these types of games this way. If I buy the game and pull the chrome and color DMD would I still want the game and could it re sell at the differential price? Figure the Chrome and DMD are close to 2k and I could always re install on another game if I wanted. So would I buy a meticulous example of T2 at 5k? New cleared play field , a Doug Huse restored cabinet ( his work is gorgeous), new ramps, plastics, shaker, etc. I would think about it. There is the pride of ownership in one of these games. A similar looking example did sell very quickly on the west coast but it was cheaper. Good luck to the seller and hopefully T2 finds a nice new home.
