While there are some higher profile items up for sale, there could be some bargains to be had on a couple old Gibsons.
4 to 6,000 wouldn't be bad for an EB-6 even if it does need new tuners.

Not too many original 1950s EBs around but you might be able to snag Jim's old one.

The hammer fell at $20,000 for an EB-6. The EB-1 will go up tomorrow.
Hard to believe what someone was willing to pay for Gilmour's strat. CBS era and heavily modified.

The auctions are streaming on youtube. The EB only got $4,000. Even with the 20% markup from Christie's that's still a great price for a 50s EB.
