Default 67 j45 good price? 56 j200 price?

Looking at these two guitars. I don't know enough about vintage instruments to decide if I'm ovér paying. I'm thinking the j200 is in the $5000 dollars range and the j45 somewhere around $2000. I'm really wanting the j45. Seller says its a southern jumbo but it doesn't have binding on fret board. Any help will be appreciated.

Sorry I have no first-hand knowledge of vintage prices, but you might try googling "vintage gibson j-45" and reading about the history and prices of vintage guitars. You might also browse the instrument list at Gruhn Guitars. The ones from the '40s are pretty pricey.

FYI, my first 'real' guitar was a J-50 purchased new in 1964 for $175. I wanted a Martin, but they were $400-$500 and I couldn't afford one.
