I don't think this game is worth what they are asking - and the reason is the lack of paint on the cab.
It's OK to think that doesn't cost much in materials but it's a massive job.
The backglass is very faded also
I told him it would be very costly to restore the cabinet, and the price is to high, he seems to think differently.
this is his response.

"This does not mean that a certain pin is worth less.The pinball price guide has Pro Football listed at $600US.It has gone up each of the last 3 years.The rule of thumb with the price guide is to convert to Aus dollars then double it for the rarity of Pinnies in Australia compared to America.
It has over 30 watchers aleady with 2 people asking for shipping prices.One has said he will 'but it now' if I organise freight,which I clearly stated pick up only,but the option is there.If you look on Ebay at the moment there a few EM's that don't work with $500 start price/bids so considering the exceptional condition of the backglass and playfield and the fact it's so good mechanically I reckon it's worth that but we are all entitled to our own opinion."
Seller is on a different planet.
For a Pinball theme that is not even part of our culture in Australia, there were PLENTY of Pro Footballs exported to Australia. The comparison to the US market is very different. Right now - that machine would sell for around US$150 MAX.
I'd give him $250 for that machine - if I was in a good mood ! you are looking at a lot of hours and expense to paint the cabinet
BTW - That backglass has had some fading in it - Typically the Red fades.
