I saw this posting while flipping through craigslist:

Looks to be in pretty good condition and quite fairly priced. This would be a bit of a drive for me and I'd have to get my friend to head up there with his truck to pick it up. Would end up being about ~90 miles up to get it and back, with a lot of mountain roads. I dunno, what do you guys think?

It looks like a good deal to me. I travelled ~90 round trip to pick up my first cab, but it was free. It's in working condition, which is a +

For a comparison, I was able to trade an EMPTY arcade cabinet for around $50 worth of stuff. That was an empty cabinet with only a jamma harness.
This game is complete and functioning, and only $85. I'd say go for it if you don't mind the drive.
A good "price guide" I like to use is one I found on klov:
1) Bad-shape - doesn't work, has some cab damage, gutted/converted, etc. - $0-50
2) Good physical condition and complete but not working $25-100
3) Works, but not very pretty $100-200
4) Works and looks good, but nothing has been done to it in over 10 years. $200-400
5) Works, all internals have been rebuilt-as-new, but cab or artwork shows some wear. $300-600
6) Works, all internals have been rebuilt-as-new, all outside artwork and cab has been restored-as-new. $500-3000 (EDOT, SW cockpit, etc)
7) Still perfect as the day it came from the factory, home-use-only, and never played - just wiped with a diaper. $750-3000+
Obviously, conversions and titles would affect prices. And if you can get it for less, than good for you. But you shouldn't expect that to be the norm...

Well I'll have to see if I can convince a friend with a truck to pick it up with me ;D. We are all lanning this whole weekend so hopefully this friday I can work something out before we all head over.
