he went down from $600, i am wondering if i can get him down more.
Is $500 a decent price here? I am a total newb.

It looks like it's in very good condition although it's always hard to tell from pictures. It would probably cost just as much if not more to build a replica and since it works I'd say $500 is reasonable but I'm not that up on the value of old cabs... I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'd pay $500 for a newish working DK machine if I had the money and space for it.

I'd pay that in a second. I'm tearing my hair out trying to find a Donkey Kong or Ms. Pac-Man in that kind of condition.
modessitt:
I've always thought that if you want something bad enough, any price below $1000 is usually "reasonable".
The only reason it wouldn't be "reasonable" is if you didn't care about it being a DK and you're just looking to own a game.

Why is it orange?
Does the monitor work? Is it flakey? Is it running MAME?
I would not commit to purchasing this without seeing in person. The photos are too small and vague + no screenshots.
