How so? Looks kind of cheesy to me.

Don't think cheesy really applies to that radio. I understand it is
very well finished and the controls are precise for an analog radio and
smooth in operation. It would be fun to use, but the price of $3,000
puts it way outside of the realm of what I would call a user radio.
Someone who like Sony things will undoubtedly put it on a shelf. There
are numerous other radios with the same feel and reception ability for
far less.


Collector wise it's probably worth in the rang of $650-1000 but not $2500

I dunno....collectors seem to have a wide range of acceptable value
vbg.
I've seen the 320 fetch 2500 + on Ebay, the Panasonic RF9000 go for
close to $4k, Sony 6800 go for $1k, and so forth. All nice radios, but
collectors will bid one out of sight if it will complete a collection
or if it comes with all important goodies like original box,
instructions, hang tags, etc.
