Wish I could see the tag on it. Looks to be in somewhat fair condition. Any thoughts on value? I'd bid, but I'm too far away to consider driving to get it, and shipping won't be a viable option.

Looks like a Louis XVI. Other than the one I bought locally a few years ago, I know of two others and both are (or at least were) in pretty bad condition. Nice to see this one has the albums, mine has just a few. This one looks to be the crank version and mine is electric. No idea what these are worth though. Mine was bought at an estate auction for far less than I was willing to pay, though. Here's a photo of mine after just a good cleaning and a coat of Howard's Feed 'N' Wax.

Shouldn't this be in the eBay and Craigslist Alert section?

In any case, this thing is a beast. It's huge. I could see that having a negative impact on the interest, but it looks like it has a few bids already.
