Buy It Now is right at the market price point, it seems. #I had a Triolian plectrum that had been spray-painted black, paid around $800 for it 15 years ago, traded it on the Gibson Army-Navy Custom 'cause I never played it. #The eBay guitar looks to be in good shape, and apparently has had a neck re-set and truss rod installation -- National's tendency to use less-than-well-seasoned wood in their necks is notorious,* and many have warped (my Style 0 six-string, e.g.).
*Later: want to emphasize that this comment applies to the old National, National Dobro, and Valco guitars, not to those made by the new National Reso-Phonic Co. in CA. #Everything of theirs that I've seen has exhibited excellent materials and workmanship.
