I think the appeal lies in the rarity rather than the performance...kinda like a CT-100. (Although I'll bet a well-setup CT-100 will beat the picture quality of a lot of modern sets) Even with about a tenth of the total production of a CT-100, a larger percentage of SX-88s have survived in one form or another...still not many around, though.
That being said...if I were a collector of mid-20th century industrial design rather than radios I think I'd want one in my hands. It is the essence of purposeful US industrial design. As an art object it may well be worth that kind of loot.
(And I love my $25 RME-45!!)
