Quite simply yes....I don't beleive a FH is worth any where near the price...hope that's ok. It's a $3500 max pin, regardless of condition imo. That means it sits next to games like CV and above games like GnR, ToM, FGuy, TSPP, LoTR just to name a few....pfft, please


I take is "pfft" is slang for you are not sure??  !@#

If a GnR, ToM, FGuy, TSPP or LoTR was restored to the same level as that particular FH, you would expect any of those games to owe the owner a little south of $10K in base game plus parts plus restorers time cost....

Whether that means any of those would sell for close to $10K is a different question, but a similar one to whether someone would pay $7K for a magnificent FH, or instead buy a $3.5K one (haven't seen too many under $3K lately other than trash), add $2.5K of parts plus their own time....saving $1,000.00 which is fine if the time you put in was not something of concern, and of course, you actually have the skill to do it yourself rather than using a professional.
