Well, the price isn't that bad, considering at least one of them went for over $6000 on Ebay. And the value is only going to go up and up. It's actually a pretty good investment. Most people bought them for 25% to 40% off originally, so this guy is probably doubling his investment.
They are fantastic guitars. I've played Val Magee's a couple times, after dousing my hands in holy water and promising not to play anything but Lightfoot, not to leave any fingerprints on it, breathe on it, move while I'm playing it, etc... etc... etc.
The guitar has beautiful overtones and sustain.
Char, now is the time to trade up. Get rid of that air guitar of yours and get one that you don't have to inflate every time you want to play.
