Victrola IX tabletop on craigslist only $8,000
It's a bit pricey, but it does come with 50 - 78RPM records

Re: Victrola IX tabletop on craigslist only $8,000
I wonder if this seller is related to the guy selling the $2995.00 Victrola 50 that has been listed for a few years now on ebay.

Sent a little message to the seller, informing him of the 'facts of life'…..
I'm not holding my breath as to a reply….

$8000.00? Why, that's ridiculous! I also have a Victrola IX that I will sell for only $4000.00 and it has been serviced. Free shipping, of course.

I see that the ad is now down. The reality message may have worked.

Re: Victrola IX tabletop on craigslist only $8,000
It's worth what someone will pay for it. If someone has paid $8000 for it, then I conclude it was worth it, if only to them! 
Sometimes it is easy to assume that just because we know what something is worth to us collectors then we automatically know what it might be worth generally. I was surprised for example when an Expert Senior was judged to be worth $20,000 by an "interior decorator" when it was only worth half that to a collector!

Pricing by casual sellers on Craigslist and such is also often based on emotion, e.g., because this phonograph was something grandma cherished it must be worth a great deal.
