Pro shift billet rear mech

Hi all, I’m after some info on this rear mech. I remember a Paul billet mech, but never heard of this one. Overall it’s in good condition, but the top jockey wheel has been replaced with a shimano one, probably as they work better. Approx value?

The colour will sell it and it will be an eye watering amount of 600-800£

Get it on the Klein or yeti groups and someone will want it.
 
@ferrus should have a good idea as he’s known to have a derailleur or two… 😉
But I’m a tightwad and only buy total bargains so I’m not up to speed on market values 😉
I’ve sold a couple of NOS ones in the past but prices have rocketed in the last couple of years. There’s a few on eBay between £460 and £800(!) - I can’t see them selling for that. One sold in the US recently for just over £200.
The OPs is in good shape but the top jockey will detract a bit. I’d guess anywhere between £200 - £350 this side of the pond…

upfront, Disraeligears has still a bit of documenation

With that Proshift logo at the parallelogram it's 3rd gen, roughly 1996

Wrt the value, just could share some references:
I have bought recently one of those in a bit weak condition, but cheap at ebay
https://www.ebay.com/itm/365570982913? for below 100€, but the ad wasn't great.
There was also one on sale in Germany in the Classic-Bike forum for 259€, sold within 24hours.

There are once in a while offers for much more, but not sure if they are getting really sold in that range.

I would guess, it's much easier to sell a Paul derailleur for a high price.
