The sellers's handle, "prato fiorito con margherite", is Italian for "Sniffing glue in a flowery meadow with the seller of the sturgeon bass signed by Les Claypool".
Unless the player is a Entwistle /Sir Paul level player I don't think celebrity adds much value. I doubt that Dave Hill owned my amp adds any valu, might even have the opposite effect

Entwistle would agree with you. In his May '82 Guitar Player interview (famous Gretsch 6120 cover issue) he said: "I wouldn't expect people to pay me more money for my instruments just because I played them."As for McCartney, he owns Bill Black's upright that he played with Elvis. So even Sir Paul wants to own his idol's bass, and I bet Linda (who bought him that bass) paid more than the going price for a modded Kay M1.
Show of hands. How many of us look to Nick Oliveri as their idol?
