Small veneer chip on the top. I don't know who told him it's worth a lot more, but I agree that consoles are harder to sell. I had trouble GIVING one away! The chassis sounds somewhat intimidating to me also.
Maybe I should go look at an RCA K130 instead. That's $150 and a lot closer.

Oh, that sounds like more like a $40 to $100 radio to me now, not that fleabay is a reasonable price guide but that's what a console with no knobs would go for on there. Not that the knobs are difficult to find but what else is missing or wrong with it that he hasn't told you about?
I would let him sit on it for now, but leave him your number and when he gets serious about selling it (such as asking a more realistic price) he can call you back.
