Personally, I wouldn't pay more than $400 for a super clean one, but if
it's nice and it's local, it might be worth your while..

$400-500 IMO.

$675 is towards the top end, but I can tell you that piecing one
together isn't cheap either. I picked up a Centipede Cabaret that was
converted to a Capcom Bowling for $20, unfortunately it was missing all
the original artwork and the CP had been hacked around the trackball.

Converting it back took all of 30 minutes, but tracking down all the
parts took months but could have taken longer without help from a few
friends like Scott Caldwell. It was a fun worthwhile project, and is a
keeper (with NOS sideart goodness!).

I'd say if it's real clean and nice, buy it (of course you should try
to get it for less :-)
