Default Value of rare shortwave radio

Thanks.

Is this the one on Craigslist in Annandale, Va? I'm suspicious of:
"Mint working condition and picks up stations". It doesn't say mint
cosmetic, only mint operating condition. Very big difference.

It would compete with the Panasonic 2200 through 2900 radios for
functionality if not performance. It's an unknown brand of shortwave
radios which may actually limit it's attraction to collectors. If it
is Japan made then you might find more collector interest in Japan,
possibly on the Japan Yahoo site. On ebay it's possibly worth $100.00
