2k is a smoking steal on any GNR no matter condition...I've seen ones like that go for high 3s

You are getting a deal,I would think it's worth over 3000,you can cover the wear at the scoop with a cliffy and there are back box art stickers that you can pop on or just touch up the black,You could make it look much better with some work and mabey even make a few bucks If done right

I read ericbee's msg as: he owns the machine and that a local company said they would charge him $2000 to restore it, and he is seeking input from us about that, and about sell/trade ideas.

$2500-2800, based on damage and market conditions.
It is not worth $3K because of ramps, playfield, and cabinet damage.
Replacement parts on this machine until remade are going to GOUGE you hard.
You had better take a very close look at the game.
Some dealers would try to flip it for $4000-4500, and probably not do much.
Everything looks repairable.
Good improvement quality "diamond in the rough" machine.
Original topper is going to cost you $450, unless you remake your own as many owners have in the past.

Superb one just sold for $4500, and it was immaculate and underpriced for the quality.

I'd be cautious about the restore at that price. Lots of hacks out there who will charge $2,000 and just slap some decals, cliffy's and wax on. GNR parts aren't the cheapest, and if she needs new parts / ramps, playfield tear down, it might cost more than that. The word restore is so vague though. Good luck.

$2000
