Well, for $5000.00, anyone could build a VERY nice plate modulated kilowatt....or a few. Including Peter Dahl iron, and a nice cabinet to put it in.
Many classic rigs demand a very high price for nostalgia, not because they are good transmitters, or a good value dollar for watt. I suppose its a good investment, the price is bound to only go up. Why do I very rarely ever hear a desk kilowatt on the air? The 500 was also a very nice piece of equipment, you don't see many of those...
