1990s Gandy Big G Pool Table Value
A Big G Gandy pool was purchased in the early 1990's. A recent flood in the basement has ruined the pool table and a replacement is needed. It is a professional grade oversized 8ft pool table in "Designer White" with burnished brass trim and drop pockets.
Note the Big G logo on the end of the table in the provided picture.
I recall that I paid over $5000 for it at the time. The store from which it was purchased is still in business but sales records for that time were lost in a fire. The insurance company is willing to compensate the original amount or replace it with a similar value table. It is my hope that you may have a resource that could provide a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price new.

MSRP for this exact model was $5265 if you bought it mid 1990s. The Big-G was their commercial-grade model.
Unfortunately it is hard to find any print materials with a suggested retail price; Most pool table maker's catalogs from that era didn't list prices. Gandy included.
However, I have a screenshot from their website in 1998 showing MSRPs of all of their models. Note the 2nd photo showing the additional $270 for the oversized-8-foot option.

I also have the text from a dealer sheet I found online a long while back, but I am not sure it will suffice for insurance purposes.
Model: Big-G Oversized 8 Ft (46" x 92"playing surface)
Features
Extra heavy 2 inch solid hardwood subframe - ensures quiet, stable playing surface as well as structural integrity (no sagging or spreading).
Three piece one inch thick slate, diamond honed to within 1/1000th inch, and framed in hardwood - designed to withstand frequent recovering and to provide quieter play.
Solid hardwood rails machined to within 1/1000th inch tolerance - consistent, accurate alignment for true accuracy.
Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price: $5265.
I can tell you that this is as good as you are going to get to a documented MSRP for the Gandy Big-G pool tables. Hope this helps.
