That is one sharp looking radio, if it receives as well as it looks -
I would wonder why someone would sell it.
I think the short answer is, He's not a Radio Buff - or else he has
too many or needs the money. My big question is, Is the price tag
(which somebody will probably pay) for actual performance or just for
cachet? It's real pretty, and it's a SONY, but is it as good as other
$400 radios?

I think you've hit the real issue. Sony has always made some
interesting, if not particularly grand, radios. Performance is good in
their class, but there are usually better radios in those classes. What
Sony is good at is selling the cachet. Lots of eye appeal, large feature
set, decent audio,...some much better than others..., even the Sony
name, but in the end you have to look at the class the radio performs in.
