Quoted from dieseldogpi:Well, according to current pricing policy, you should be able to tack every dollar you spend on the restore on top of the price of the game. Might as well tack on work hours involved also. Hell, did you drink a beer while restoring?? Add that on as well.
Quoted for truth, although it shouldn't be that way.
Until a year or so ago, if you paid $600 for an NOS playfield and put it into a game, you would expect the price to raise on a sale by maybe $200ish.
You put the NOS playfield into the game because either you got the game for a steal because it was a complete and total beater and you could make a bit of money off it, or because you love the game and have no intention of selling it. Then, if you don't get the money out of it, no big deal - you did it because you loved it.
In today's market, who knows - someone might give it to you. But, I wouldn't expect that to happen. The repro field should lose $400ish the moment you put the new playfield in.
