A quick search of the completed auctions on Gunbroker shows the 2 most recent ones that actually sold went for $1,825 (2 bids) and $3,026 (21 bids). Both of them were in 97-98% with the factory aluminum case and all the goodies (the less expensive one was missing the foam insert and the finish was slightly worse than the other). It seems like the latter one was the product of a bidding war and someone just HAD to have it.
