I think we are getting to the point where restoring a vehicle now can cost more than it's worth completed. I think also that the higher end vehicles are worth the asking price, but you have to balance that against how many people have that kind of cash available for a purchase when something like this comes up.

Bruce, you do make some good points. For many guys I believe it comes down to pay by instalment. Lots of people have a few bucks to buy a project and slowly throw money into it over a long period of time.
Limited persons have the capital to buy turn key although in the end it's probably a better deal overall. Personally I have gone both routes, although for me, the hunt for parts and the restoration process itself is my reward. Some guys throw money away at the bar, play golf, gamble etc so it's whatever ones into that counts. My therapy comes in OD.

I’m starting at $125k US for the Sexton. Really no comparison with the baiv Sexton.

In my opinion Jesse that is too low for your Sexton, with tanks like T-54/55, Chieftains and the like commanding north of 100k in the USA, a genuine WW2 Sexton with that level of restoration should be worth much more. Even shabby Sherman's are selling in the 250-300 range. I would contact Dan Stark or the Flying Heritage and Armored Combat museum, both have been acquiring lots of WW2 vehicles lately and they would be able to appreciate the quality of your Sexton.

Pricing
The problem with Sherman pricing seems to be no WW2 museum worth its name doesn't have a Sherman. But those bricks and mortar institutions are closing with fewer customers.
IMHO, the market is for experience collections that give visitors permission to touch, climb, hear, feel, smell and ride in the vehicles. A conventional tank isn't fitted for more than a couple of passengers. But a Sexton is an open box. If you marketed it as a passenger or rider friendly pattern, you might have better luck. What to ask? Start high. You can always negotiate down. It is hard to negotiate up. Just my opinion.
