C250-C19 value

[ImperialGuardsman]

I know, no one likes questions about prices, but here we go:

There is an Edison Phonograph (which looks to be either a C250 or a C19) that is near me. The asking price is $300. It is functional but the outside had the usual scratches and there is a small-ish chuck missing from the top right corner (on the case not the lid); it is also missing the grill cloth. The inside is in great condition. There are also 37 Diamond discs, which may or may not be extra (we have not haggled yet). From my description, does $300 sound about right? I also think it is Mahogany.

Thanks,
