Put this this way: around a year ago, an FS1R would go for around €1500. 
It looks to be €1800 now. Asking prices, that's quite another thing; 
there's one for €2749 on Reverb right now. 😯

But if you take this listing:

My rule of thumb for this seller is to take 1/3rd of the price. And that 
would put it around €1500.

But that would leave you out of pocket, I think.

Asking prices on Reverb appear to start at €1500. Depends a bit on the 
condition, whether it's a 110 volts unit, etc.

Anyway, it's all up to you of course. We're all your buddies and all 
that, but you have other priorities and responsibilities.

I'm actually in a similar situation. I picked up a 110V Roland JD-990 
for cheap, but I have little interest in the unit (haven't even had time 
to hook it up). And I'd rather rip off some random person on the 
internet than a member of the bar. 😃
