Is it working and in decent shape?

I've seen them go pretty consistent in good working order at auction from $125 - $150.

I don't really know, I do think it's working 100%. Got a picture, but don't know if that was made earlier or recently. It has been in rental for shows and races etc. so  I wonder what the condition is. They're asking a lot more than you mention there, but remember I'm in Europe and even though Outrun was widely spread here it's still bound to be more expensive than that.

Is this a deluxe upright, with the big plastic bezel, and the artwork on the side that has the couple in the car, or the black and red upright?? If it is not working it should be less than $100 US, the boards alone on these things can be $150 or more, so there are many non-working ones out there. One of the members was trying to give one away recently, and did not have any luck.

So, IF it is working, I would say somewhere in the $250- $300 range would not be too bad, not working the price should come way down, because these things are expensive to fix.

Pay nothing!  Build it!  LOL j/k  I have no idea how much a cab like that would be worth.  Are you going to gut it and make a stand up driver that plays multiple games?

I am pretending I did not read that....... Outrun is a Classic IMHO. NO way !

I think it's the Deluxe. The montitor seems to be very flat. I'll try put up the pic they send me, but this is also on their rental site, so it could be taken when it was brand new. Notice the wheels under the cab and the extra thing in front to stand on. I'm pretty sure it will be in working order.

I'd say the flatness is just the glass in front of the monitor. It looks pretty nice. Not that I know anything about that, but still. It's missing the map though (should be on the bezel I think). A few years ago I was thinking about buying a sit down Outrun from Topshop automaten. It was just a tad too big and heavy though :)

I was at an arcade austion this weekend.  There was an Outrun standup in nice, working condition that sold for $195.
