It's a rather nicely styled console, but like most 1940s console radios they aren't worth a huge amount of money, so I wouldn't worry about someone giving you a lowball price and flipping it for $500. As has been mentioned the big turn off is the paint job, it's completely restorable but anyone buying it would factor that into the price, whoever buys it would do so for a restoration project or for parts for another restoration project if don't think that it's worth the effort.
Best Regards
