I'm sure they're open to offers. It's still better than the 4k I've seen for a generic particleboard cab MVC2 
It's also in SA where candy cabs never come up. I think my super neo 29 was the last cab I saw listed in the last 2 years here.
My point is, if you factor in transport, it's probably only overpriced by $500.
EDIT: Although it looks a bit funky too.

If you're local, it includes delivery - but yes, for interstate, the delivery costs will take it over the cost of a normal cab.
Looks wise, nothing like some elbow grease can't fix
, some fibreglass cut n polish, and she should come back to life.
War wounds are embraced in my household - except for complete rust and half the paint flaking off

The Neo 6-slot is a good price considering all that’s included.
The Namco 1 was $1200. But I believe the monitor is able to be rotated just one way. Some guy on AA bought it. Sounds like the monitor has a really funky butchered setup. DB15 only?
Agreed on the Astro. It’s a shame how $800 AUD used to be high end in these machines though.
I’m with you @mR_CaESaR — embrace the battle scars!

Not me unfortunately. It was over priced IMO.
Not me either (I like the smaller Aussie cabs).
I thought it was a decent deal because it came with 6 carts, 6-slot motherboard and possibly the memory card/LED marquee stuff, etc.
After doing up my 4-Slot, I realised the things above end up being costly when I added up what I've spent on the machine (and I'm not even done yet!).

Yeah I like my japanese cabs - that was way too big and way over my budget. I'm too cheap. I like to buy things broken

Yeah I have to agree. I'm too much of a fan of Sega cabs lol
Agreed. I had to have the Neo 4-Slot for nostalgia and I have a small 20” gottlieb wooden cab because I bought it for the PCB inside. They’re nice additions but I’m all about the candies.
Sit down cabs aren’t the preference for everyone and I can see how nostalgia plays a huge part in wooden cabs appeal. Also if you’re tall, sitting behind a candy isn’t going to be all that comfortable.
