As a fairly new Parker owner and buyer here is my opinion.

Problem with restored is was it well done. Few I have looked at were very nice in appearance almost too nice. Thing that kept me away was how much may have been taken out of the barrels to clean up. If the gun came from one of the well known shops provided barrel measurements and was priced less than original might be worth considering. Ended up passing on restored for original, looking for another now and will only seriously consider original I would not reject a simple clean up or repair however like new restore puts me off right away.

What does that do to value ? makes restored a slow seller compared to the equivalent untouched gun, slow means less if the seller wants to move the gun.
