Went and had a look. Playfield above the pop bumper where there's a building and two playmates had a large amount of wear. Was about 2mm deep. All inserts were concave. The main board (top left corner-mother board?) was totally r/s. The worst corrosion I'd seen on a board with no batteries. Don't know how that would happen to it. Back glass was really nice. Cabinet was just about a write off. Had nice steel angles all over it keeping it together. Made an offer but I think they had an unrealistic idea on its value as they had seen one restored on another site for 10 000 with nice LEDs 
That would be right. The $10,000 games I call the "spottem" or "Space Invaders" auctions. That classification is special as it only involves games that have been on eBay, unsold, for 5 years or more..
The Kiss and Playboy cash grab is terrible out there, I personally love Kiss but hate the machine, way too busy playfield artwork and does not appeal to me but I love Playboy as a game and would love one but never seen one for a decent price, everyone wants top dollar and as far as I am concerned they are all over priced. There was 18,250 units made so there are plenty out there so not exactly rare but the theme seems to command the higher price. Same with Kiss, 17,000 units made and they are always around just so ridiculously expensive.
Keep in touch with the seller as once reality kicks in on how much he will actually get due to the work required as only someone prepared to put the effort in will buy it, you might get it closer to a realistic price but it depends how much you want a Playboy.
Good luck

It has been a problem for many years. KISS fans (like me) will pay a lot of money for the holy grail of any KISS collection. you are competing with 40 year olds with lots of cash that want the game. Dealers inflate their prices, with exorbitant claims of them being "restored" or "fully done up", or the latest "we spent 40 hours on this High End Restoration". The KISS fans buy them without doing their homework. Demand is the same, so the price stays high.
I have SIX High end KISS restorations in the pipeline. One of these was priced at $11,000 in 2012. Not for a KISS fan though - just a High End collector. That will be $11,000 in VALUE.
Blame the prices on KISS fans more than anything !
