Thanks folks.
I do look at completed/sold eBay auctions to get a good idea what something is worth and it looks like 1300-1500 is par for the course.
Like I told him I don't really want it but the guy has a wife, two kids, no job prospects due to felonies, a horribly f-ed up back, and has been unemployed for a well over a year. I do not feel too bad since he could part with a lot of his very high end gear (merlins, etc) and pay his bills. He offered to let me have it for $1600 which I think is a fair price but all of my gear, including my Von Schweikerts, is in storage anyway and has been for over 6 months.
Ray, thanks for the US Audio Mart tip.
