IMO $600 is way too much for one, there are tons of 'em around. I'd imagine you'll want to stay below $300 in any case, but I wouldn't pay that either mainly because I'm not a fan of the PC-10 setup.

As a counterpoint, while I'm not a PC-10 fan either, the countertop versions are definitely the least common of the bunch. If you're looking for a PC-10, a big fan, and want something nifty, then go for it. I'd just ensure it came with several games and their little marquee things.

Hol-EE-Crap. I was just thinking of this. Those things are so Rad. But not as Rad as Club ninja! Ha! Now give me meseta now! LOL
Seriously, I've heard that they're on the cheap side myself. Which is cool. I want one now!

My honest opinion on arcade games? Follow this:
Do you want the game? If no, stop. If yes, go on.
Do you have room for the game? If no, stop (or bother friends). If yes, go on.
Can you afford the cost of the game without causing financial peril? If no, stop. If yes, go on.
Is there another of the same game also available right now AND selling for less? If no, then buy the first game. If yes, then buy the second, cheaper game.
Now, you have the game and are happy. There are generally pricing rules for many arcade games, and there's even a "price guide" for pinball, but in my opinion, you should pay whatever you're comfortable with paying for a game you want. If you want it, can afford $600, and don't mind paying $600, then just buy it and be happy.
For example, a local guy I know spent $1800 on a pin recently. Very nice piece. I, even more recently, bought the same game in similar condition for $1000. Would have I spent $1800 on it? No way. Do I think he overpaid? Given how pleased he is with his purchase, no, I don't think he did.
