So I got this completed speed bag set from a customer last week, looked around and found some pretty outrageous prices (not sure if I should believe them) saying it's worth around 5k. It's an ngc. Thinking I'm gonna keep it as a decoration and just get a completely new set-up. Should I have it refinished or just leave it as is?

Depends upon what kind of shape it's in. When new the metal work was finished with Japan colors and sealed with varnish. The drum's wood would have finished with several coats of varnish. Some people prefer the aged look, while others like the showroom appearance Usually not much has to be done to the elevating system, other than possibly replacing the crank wheel (or on later models a hand crank on a universal joint);

Thanks, I think I might just clean it up a little. Love how heavy everything is. Took me a while finding out what I had lol. Barely anything on Google. I wanna use it, but I could make one that works just as good. I think it'd be a waste on someone like me. I'm not really interested in brands and antiques. You know where the best place to sell this would be? I might Just sell it and split it with the guy that gave it to me.
