When I'm done with it, my Paragon will be about $2400:
900 - game
300 - bgresto backglass
145 - plastics
165 - stencils
800 - CPR playfield
100 - misc parts
-----------------------
$2410
If DefaultGen decided to sell his Paragon for $3000, I'd jump on it just to avoid the 100 hours of work for the cab repaint and playfield swap. I think it's the best art Paul Faris ever did, and it's one of the best players of this era.
[EDIT: bummer, stencils aren't available yet -- I hope they will be when I start this project]
