£4-4.5k entry level
£4.5-£5k good
£5-£6k for excellent refurbed with colour dmd etc

I dug mine out a couple of weeks ago after 3 years in storage, and now it's my go to pin! For now anyway, such a fun and challenging game.
With cracked ramps, boulder holes, dented side rails etc but still plays great and you don't notice the defects when you're playing!
Would be nice to get a fully restored version but can you really get these for less than 6k? If I could then I would happily sell this one on.

Those look more like 2022 prices to me tbh. As a buyer, I'd take a grand (at least) off all those prices as my starting point.
As a seller - I'd be adding £1k on ! 
I’m looking for a nice / minty wh20 and would happily pay more than 6k for the right pinAs a seller - I'd be adding £1k on !
If anyone has a super minty I’ll pay £8k if it’s mint
Proof right there that top end is 8k+.
As for bottom end, if its 3k then where are they?

Yeah, but super minty is new PF, new cab etc. How many of those are kicking about?
Recently sold prices seem to be £3750-4500. Topper missing, cab damage, pf wear at the lower end of that scale. Nice condition with colour DMD etc at the higher end
Not a WH20, which never came up that often anyway, but there's roughly 60 pins sat in the for-sale section now which is a clear demonstration that a lot of people haven't got to grips with the fact that the **** has totally fallen out of the market
I dunno I just think people are letting of of the poorer titles a great game will always sell , I’ve given my ww a good clean and tidy and fixed all the quirks , it’s now my fave and tbh I think it’s the only one I couldn’t sell. Howdy partner !!!
Finally setting up mine again this week after a couple years - can’t wait 
classic game, oozing charm .
Doesn’t help your hunt unless I decide to sell it ..,.. which is highly unlikely tbh

Not exactly rare - 7k produced, but seems to get snapped up quite quickly whenever they come up for sale.
I must have done about 5
AJ Pinball fully restored my one with a new playfield, cabinet decals, new boulders, new ramps and new plastics etc.
It’s one of the most expensive pins to restore. For a basic starting point without anything else or labour the new ramps, boulders and playfields will set you back more than 2k. Then restore and redecal the cab, colourdmd, polished rails etc etc. Therefore there’s no chance you go from a good condition original to a mint restoration with a 1k/2k step up.
Having said that good luck in your hunt -
It’s one of the most addictive games ever made. You know how to get the big scores the theory is simple. Get 5X the fun going start multiball and shoot insanity falls 3 times for 3 jackpots then put all 3 balls back up the top and repeat. But can you do these tasks that individually are simple. Damnit just press start and try one more time….

I like to start 5x playfield just before I get vacation jackpot. It’s easy. Done it hundreds of times. My top score is 100 billion……..
No, wait a sec. That’s a lie.

Very nice! How much did all that cost?
As Jmac said, I probably spent £2.5k+ on parts alone so it was an expensive restoration.
I picked mine up essentially as a kit... User on here was mid-restore and needed to move house, and was concerned about rushing the work. Fortunately new ramps were part of the deal, however the new playfields and hard work werent 
Still cost me £2k+ on top of what i paid for it to get it where i wanted it to be. However that was before the pandemic, when things cost reasonable amounts of money....
Awesome machine, and not going anywhere...

To be fair any game that needs a new playfield and cabinet restore is going to end up costing you 2k+ in parts.
You end up down a rabbit hole of replacing the plastics, rubbers, bulbs, speakers etc etc before you know it you're at 3k. I just looked back at the past 5 BOM's I've made all of them got well over 2k in parts.

agree. looking at my bally ss refurbs. average is £2.5k for new cpr pf, plastics, upper pf parts, cab stencils, paint, new legs, flipper rebuild kits, new legs etc.
some games like fathom are more due to high pf cost and a new backglass.
Some games you just throw cash at because you love them. Fall out of love and you will take a massive hit . Seawitch stands me in more than Indiana Jones . Crazy "hobby" lol
