I bought mine for ~1600 several years ago. It seemed to me like the very high end price spectrum at that time, but it was from the original owner who played it for a year or so and then tucked it away. Dead mint. Well... it was dead mint. I take it out quite a bit, and I'd say that it falls into the "pry it from my cold dead hands" category. Wonderful basses, these are.
I'm not even gonna tell/remind you what I paid for my (formerly) white one (by the time I got her she had been weathered to a deep pee pee yellow and had her fair share of battle scars).
No more than a month after I bought mine I saw a minty one (also white, which is damn rare; only thing rarer is the single black one made according to the production records I saw IIRC) on ebay go for 2K (6ish years ago). Needless to say I felt like a bandit/wondered if I had actually bought a stolen bass (it was from Montreal, tour van B&E gear theft and crooked pawn shop owners buying the stuff from junkies capitol of North America), but it's so distinctly 'reliced' (and in tonnes of pics online) that you'd figure the legit owner would have noticed by now (though I console myself by thinking of how I saved her from an obviously abusive relationship).
The 2K one:

Mine (pup switch knob, trapeze and control plate added by me; replaced one damaged tuner - actually managed to find a single matching, Gibson-branded one on ebay. Still have the original control plate; crack by the jack as usual - still an amazing deal considering what I paid for it):
PS, If anyone wants a metal (sheet aluminium) control plate like mine, I can make one for you, or if you're handy with the tin snips, you can cut it out for yourself and I can send you the label or label template (just print it out on a regular transparency and cut out the screw/pot/switch mount holes; it's mirror imaged so that the ink stays on the underside and wont rub/wear off). Even (especially) if your original plastic plate is still in good shape, I recommend going metal in order to keep it that way (I have since had the jack yanked a few times and it held up)... unless it's a wall hanging museum peice (they not only sound/playgood, they're dead sexy, so I'd understand).
