Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers is in good condition, has a little burn in the screen from the "insert coin" flashing.

It's worth what you'll pay for it. I mean, if it's in a really clean cab, with good art, plays great, and everything works... it's worth could be $100 - $750.

If the cabinet is in bad shape, but the games in good shape it could be worth $0 - $200.

Factor in all the variables:
Availability of arcade cabinets where you live
Desirability of the cabinet where you live
Condition of the cabinet
Condition of the artwork
conversion vs. dedicated
Bag of parts - what would it cost for you to build something identical?

I guess what I'm saying is... I don't know. You don't give enough details, and since you didn't I'm going to make some assumptions:

You live in Alaska with a small population
90% of the people who live within 300 miles of you are avid Street Fighter collectors
This is the only Street Fighter cabinet in the state
The cabinet is excellent condition
The artwork is perfect
It's a rare dedicated cabinet signed by the developers at Capcom

My original estimate stands: $1,203,468.82

Is this counting any spare quarters that may be loose in the bottom of the cab?

A few pics would go a long way to averting smart ass (yet highly relevant) comments.

It could be in a horrible conversion with ajunk 19" monitor, it could be an MVS cabinet with huge monitor.
Basically, your board is worth $50-$100. After that, your cabinet is worth anywhere from $50-$200. Using those figures, your cabinet is worth $100-$300 realistic market value.
