Fish Tales worth $12k?

HEP restore but even so that’s a lot of money isn’t it?
Doesn't look anything special, if that’s worth that I’m shipping mine to the states!

That's around the kind of money that HEP restored games seem to go for so not that unusual

Mmmm. Better than new? Not with the shooter lane in that state. Also something about the red triagular insert above the stringers looks fishy, no?

Still, a nice looking machine which has had a lot of work put into it. But not worth $12k to me.

The ramp flap is too far down covering the top of the red triangle.
The cab finish is not smooth under the decal as well, orange peel look.
Stringer inserts has the worn look to them same as mine.
I have a Manny part restore, cab, chrome, oak rails etc that I did. Better than this one. Maybe I should buy that new playfield
It’s a keeper anyway, it’s in my blood
Way over priced for me.
