Kelly it matters the overall condition, Sounds like everything works just a bad cabinet.
Most people take photos and put these things on ebay With a reserve amount. Listed stating that it is for local pick up only, this is due to the freight charges are so high on theses things and just trouble to pack up and ship. And lastly Many people that offer selling the complete game cabinet and all (that the cabinet is bad) will offer to gut out the computer equipment and control panel and ship those, and throwing away the Cabinet.
Hint:
First If you have time placing it in your local paper or High School paper may bring you a higher and faster sale to the locals.
Second List it on eBay as I said above.
Third you could donate it to a group for a tax wright off.
Pricing:
MINT (20+ year old everything) 1000.00
Near mint (has everything working looks good but has cosmetic problems) 800.00
Great Shape (Some screen burn in, missing paint) 600.00

Wiring harness 5.00 -10.00

I've seen working vintage arcade games go for upwards of $2000 in some shops. I bet you could get at least $1000 for it depending on how bad the cabinet looks and how badly the buyer wants it. If you get lucky and find a die hard Mario fan, they may give you more.
