The table top arcades. I can pick one up, and, dont know what they are worth. The side decals are a little faded too...can these be replaced? What should I pay?
I'm pretty sure the decals can be replace. Not sure what they're worth though, except that the countertop model generally is harder to find than the stand-up model. Probably makes it worth more than the stand-up.

I doubt it.
A good condition upright with a good selection of games is $300-$400, typically (though better deals have been had).
The controls on the tabletop look really wonky, so I'm sure it's a distinctly inferior gaming experience to the upright.
Matt probably knows, but it might be a VS Unisystem Cabaret. I don't know what form factor the Nintendo Cabaret cabinets have, so that could be what it is.
These PC-10 countertop cabs actually go for a pretty penny. I've seen them sell in non-working condition for between $150 - $250 and in working condition from $250 - $600 depending on what games were included. In my opinion, $350 would be fair for an average game setup, $250 would be a steal. And I don't think I've ever seen one of these cabs with side art. Isn't just a gray laminate around all the outsides?
(edit) Posted my comment then went back and saw that in the couple minutes it took to post you had posted a pic. In my opinion... that thing is hideous Did they just take a stand-up blue Nintendo cab and hack off the bottom? That poor cab. If you really wanted it I wouldn't pay more than $100 for it if it's working. I'd pay $100 for it but then I'd take all of the insides and put them in a proper cab which could be found for maybe $50... if not free.

That's not what's in the picture. The countertop cabs are tiny by comparison.

Yeah, just saw the pic and added an edit to my original post.

you lost me with this part ???
This isn't a PC-10 cab. It's a Vs. system "cab".... VS>PC-10 (in my opinion)
I agree, the thing is pretty ugly, but I couldn't find any info on it. I actually found it through another online post then I realized its also on ebay.
Anyways, lots more pics than what I had initially received there, so here ya go

I also like the Spiderman sticker stuck to the top of the marquee. lol wtf.
Holy crapballs! That is a serious abomination. I can't imagine anyone thinking that was a good idea. That cab is worth the price of the monitor, and that's about it. Yikes.

I have seen real tabletop Playchoice 10's sell for 600-1200. I paid 300 for mine with a great set of games and I have had offers for it a few times in the 500-800 range.
As per the controls comment. They are a bit wonky but the space this takes up compared to a full size is where I personally think the extra value comes in. Just my 2 cents
A local store called Game Pad had a working tabletop Playchoice. I played it a few times, got to minus world on SMB. The next time I went to that store, it was gone.
Seems like this thread is really popular I really had no idea wtf this cab was, as, ive never seen one this small before. Glad i asked, as, I am a noob with arcade stuffz!

^^that's the one that I played.
Yeah, one of these is what I could have picked up a couple weeks ago for $200, probably.
Comments
I suspect I could have gotten it for cheaper if I had wanted to make the trip and pick it up.
I'm sure with some haggling, you could get one for $150, probably.
The price on these things also varies pretty widely based on how many and what games they're populated with.

The joysticks just look unpleasant to use.
