Quoted from FatPanda:I agree with this. 1500 for a shopped out working Paragon is reasonable. 1500 for a nonbooting, unshopped, Paragon is a little much. 1K range is more or less what you should expect realistically. I would expect lamp board, and rectifier board issues in addition to a new MPU. It's just common in this era game.
Yup. The game as it sits is not worth more than 1,000. I certainly would not pay 1,000 for it but I've been doing this long enough to know that if you have patience, anything is possible.
