Any idea what a Star Gazer would fetch nowadays, with one of John's PFs with it?

Quoted from brenna98:My guess is $4500 for a nicely done, full restoration.
North of that, I suspect buyers drop off when they weigh prices of new games.
I did some reserach and managed to obtain the last few prices that games exchanged hands for. We're all a bit low. 
I may try and pedle mine as I need to raise some funds.

Quoted from Axaios:The reason I am dealing with the playfield is because it's the only thing left to do wctually.
Here is my restoration thread

Spend the 1k to get a new pf. This game is a rare/high value title.
Quoted from sandro:Fourth option: Find a local artist (view their portfolio). Give them the best high-resolution photos of what you're looking for, and ask them to restore the playfield. Have them start in a small area, and if the work looks good, have them do the whole job. Best case: playfield restored, money put into the local economy. Worst case, badly restored play is still badly restored.
That will cost more than getting a new pf.
Bite the bullet. Make it new once again.
Quoted from cottonm4:For $500.00 he will wind up with something that looks like a warmed over dumpster fire. For $500.00 more he can gets nice looking Greatwich repo.
Plus the time it will take to find someone willing to do this.
