Worth is completely subjective. To me it's not worth anything as I don't have an RS2000 or a nose cone nor do I need or want one. To someone needing a nose cone to finish a project, it's worth what they're prepared to pay.
If it does sell at that price watch for the rush to list nose cones next week for $1000+

I've seen a fibreglass copy RS2000 nose at a local swap meet for $200 which needed a few small repairs. Not sure if it was worth it or not.

Could simply be a matter of trying to raise the price of the things in peoples eyes. See if there are followup listings of nose cones at inflated prices.
Or if someone has a spare in similar condition, list it with a buy it now of $800-$900 and it appears that the newly listed nosecone is discounted by $600 from the previous one sold.

That bonnet seemed to have a dodgy re-spray, there's a rectangle underneath from a sticker of some sort.
I paid $350 for my bonnet, although it was slightly damaged.
My nose was/still damaged from what appears to be a pole hit, it also has hole's that appear to be from driving light very cleanly put in underneath the front bumper.

That was a good price, slight damage no issue though.
