Four player arcade works and looks great.

I would only want it for cheap if that is even a MKII cab which probably isn't.
600 seems too extreme. Looks like he is a big football fan and got the arcade.
 
I concur. Although it looks just like a MK cab, there is a slight angle difference near the inner monitor corner.

It is really hard to tell because they are soo close...I think you should email the guy and see what kind of paint/side-art is on the machine - You're only chance would be if somehow it got pieced into a blitz 99 - I think you have a better chance of it being either THE Blitz 99 dedicated - or Blitz converted to a 4-player Blitz 99. The cab should have a sticker on the inside wall telling you what it is as well.

Blitz was sweet - in 1999 in the arcade and in 2000 on my dreamcast - I just don't think it's worth near $600, and I'm into football. If you absolutely aren't in it for this game - pass because these are ALWAYS for sale.
 
that is not an mk2 cab since it does not have double t molding in the front

I think the shitty picture/angle is just making the t-molding blend together - all the Midway Blitz cabs had that MKII offset section in the front with the two rails of molding.
 
Honestly, from someone who doesn't know the value of something like this, $600 really isn't that unfair of an asking price. I'm saying that's what it's worth, but give the guy a break.

no side art = no way 600.

The sides do look clean tho.

I bought my NHL Open Ice for 375...and it's more rare...it was a conversion from NBA Jam, but it had half sized-side art/cpo/stickers

I'd ask for close up of the control panel too...

If it was mint with the full bleed side art..then maybe 450...but that's just my opinion.

Weights about 400 lbs, too.
 
If it has a medium-res monitor in it, then I'd pay an extra $100 over what I would for a standard-res, but only if I couldn't get it for the standard-res price.

Blitz has a dip switch to change the resolution, and med-res monitors are worth more...
 
not a total rip off not a great price. if it works good and you can afford it and its something you want, then go for it.
 
At auctions in so-cal, a working blitz cab will go for at least 200, and possibly up to 400+. That one looks pretty clean, so I'd go more towards the 400 end for asking price.
