I can understand those control panels going high, as they are for high dollar games.

Imagine you sell games for a living and you have a customer ready to plunk down $1000 on a Tron or Spy Hunter. It is either buy your panel at any price, or wait, lose the customer, and possibly sit on the game for a year or two.

If I was restoring a Tron, I'd pay that much.  We're all thinking from the standpoint of someone who would strip these panels of their parts for a MAME cabinet...
