Quoted from Colsond3:

Like how you referred to it as a joke ad again. All games are stupidly overpriced right now, for the most part. Has been that way for about two years. But I’m sure you know that.
There is no need for future “absurdity” reference. The guy paid $15K or thereabouts for the game, including having it restored by HEP if you actually went back and read his backstory. And he wants $15K for the game. Will he lose money on selling it? I’m sure he will lose a little.
If I wanted a HEP restored TOM, I would offer him 10 or 11 and see where he was at. I see rough TOM’s selling for 45 to 5500, “nicer” examples for $6500 - $8k.
Even so, I’m sure he’s flexible if he really wants to sell it.
Tell me though for curiosity. What do you think is a reasonable price for this game he’s selling?

Sold my HEP AFM in 2018 for 10k...had ~13k in it IIRC. I believe this HEP TOM is worth 8-10k.

Not as loved a title as AFM, but no talk of doing a remake (so no competition from CGC). OTOH, 6600 were built, so many nice survivors exist (I owned a CQ original for 5k). I also think as more and more modern games get consumed, there is less space for titles like this. As much as I love the old B/W games, they need to get bumped if you are still consuming the newer games.

Quoted from Colsond3:

That’s different than price gouging for profit...is it not?

Definitely not price gouging. It's just wishful thinking

Nothing wrong with listing a game for what you have in it. There is certainly a chance someone LOVES this particular game and was thinking of sending it to HEP for restoration. For that person, they could purchase this for 15k and sell their example for 5k. That would an ideal opportunity for both parties. The buyer gets the HEP immediately and the seller gets out clean!

Quoted from ToucanF16:

He might get his game immediately instead of waiting a couple years for HEP to do one. But Chris will be out of some business.

Chris isn't hurting for business, so I find your footnote/concern odd.
