If you search the for sale section, asking prices for nice working ones in the last few years range from around $2000 to $3000 (3k being mint restored).
Some anomalies were around $1200.
If someone doesn't want to make the effort to fix a game they have to understand the buyer is entitled to take the worst case scenario into account. Not sure what it is for this game, but my guess is that if you can't do board work, that's $800 by the time all the parts are shipped fixed and returned? Time and risk isn't free either so non working IMO should be around $1000 less than working. Hey, maybe you fix it for 100 bucks, but maybe the tube is ruined and it never works again, so...
