M-m-mm. No information on an "art model" VV-80 here: http://www.victor-victrola.com/80.htm
Looks to me like this is a plain vanilla early-version 80 with the smaller horn/doors that somebody has "improved" with some stock wood trim shapes applied to the door surfaces, and new hardware (or new doors to replace the originals?). IMO the asking price is on the high side, but not enough photo details to properly judge. Missing the floor gougers (a/k/a casters).

I agree, I was just being a little silly. :) It was done pretty well though I must say and looks fairly "natural".
