Well, this sure makes the Star Pro look at least affordable.  I can't imagine how many of these they are selling.

Hey, at least he has a Make Offer button. Offer him 2 grand.  ;)

Seriously, I think you can buy one for under $4,000.

IIRC, I saw a Star II go for under or around $2k a while back.  It was used, but only in the store, I think.  I paid $2k for a bass just once and it arrived with an undisclosed crack in the top. (Taylor AB acoustic)

I'm a bit gun-shy when they reach that level on eBay.
I'm fixin' a hole where the rain gets in..........cuz I'm built for a kilt!
