Is This S-200 Way Overpriced?

Posted for sale by a vintage guitar dealer in Dayton, Ohio for nearly $20K. They have another one priced at almost $10K.

I'm thinking these guys are part of the reason why vintage prices have spiked, but this is outrageous. I had to resist the temptation to email them and ask them if they were on drugs?

Minty and has hang tags but this one has sat for a few years. You would think the seller would realize after 4 years and zero offers that he’s simply asking for too much even though I’m unaware of any other S-200’s that are this clean. Due to the kick stand contraption many have broken headstocks.

Fine by me!

Here's my '65:

Mine's not quite a clean as that one so I would take the 10K!

Although I do have the hang tags and case candy:

I broke down and emailed the sellers, asking them why the outrageous price. I didn't got a reply, which indicates that they are on drugs, thinking they're going to get almost 20 grand for that guitar. LOL.

It's been sitting for four years unsold and they're are still insistent on their asking price? They're definitely on drugs!
