Default Alexander Grant 'Vibration' 2-handers: Value?

Getting the 'itch' to track one down/buy same. Doubt I'd fish same (how the hell would you get it fixed if you broke same?), but just to 'have one?' Ahhhhhhhh

Found a few on auction sites on the Internet, but no real indication as to what one may be worth. And if you're going into an 'Auction' best to be aware.

Many thanks up front for any guidance.

Default Vibration Rod

Hi Fred,
I am lucky enough to have a Grant Vibration , not a Playfair rod but one owned and fished by Alexander Grant himself on the river Ness.
After years of trying to track a real one down, i managed to get hold of this one, i believe it even is the rod Grant used to set his world record cast in London.
I will never sell it, would sell the wife first........ and will never fish it , i only know of one other, a beautiful 13ft Vibration i hope to raise the money to buy myself.
Gordon.
