1960 Motorola "Touraine" Drexel Stereo Console approx. dollar value (I believe listed at $675 new)?

While shopping for a new Record Player at a local Vintage Electronics store, I came across a 1960 Motorola "Touraine" Drexel stereo console with turntable and am/fm radio. It is in great working condition with the only noticable flaw being two "dings" in the very front of the console lid (very noticable, but still in good shape overall). After research I found the original list price from 1960 to be $675. I didn't think the store owners asking price was necessarily that bad but when I was in the store he told me the original list price was $900. My problem is if he is overstating the original list price by over $200, is he doing the same with his current value? (I've decided to not say what he's asking to avoid effecting anyones view of what they may suggest it is actually worth now)
Any suggestions?

It's barely worth anything. Console stereos are basically crap. Only reason it's sellable at all is because it's tube electronics and some idiot will buy it because of that. The turntable will eat your records and no matter how "restored" they say it is, you can bet more work will need to be done soon. Many parts unobtainium. Does it really sound that great for the money? Don't be that guy... lol.
