You will find all brands of MCM console record players listed for sale ranging from $50 to several thousand dollars.
In my area, I see a nice-looking unit set on the curb for free at least 3-4 times a year (and that is just in one area).

I see some listings on eBay and Etsy with for-sale prices in the thousands but I do not find very many actually selling for those prices.

GE is a good name (not necessarily top of the line) but the final value in a unit like this will usually be dependent on where it is located. Shipping would be very costly so units are usually advertised as 'local pick up only'.
Do you know if these are popular in your area (any brand)?
Have you seen any listed for sale/sold?
I would suggest you ask about your console on the Reddit site to see if you can obtain any more information but otherwise, you should just look at some listings to find out how to list your unit and what pictures are necessary for a listing.

This one is a good example of pictures needed.

if you do not know anything about the market in your area, I would suggest you list your console starting at a higher price - maybe $1,000 - $1,500 with best offers considered and local pick up only.
List on sites like Craigslist, OfferUp, Varage, facebook marketplace and any other local sites.
Leave it listed for a few weeks and if no offers are received, lower the price and wait again.
