I had a client that just recently sold a VERY NICE 1985 Yamy C3 for =
$9,000 - she advertised a couple times and that was the highest bid. I =
just inspected three Yamy C5s about 20 years old (grey market) for a guy =
in NY. OK shape. Looked good. Flat boards & minimal to no downbearing in =
killer octave areas. Asking $9,000.

I helped my son's piano teacher buy a used grey market 1983 G5 about a =
year ago. She paid $7,500 for it. The piano is virtually =
indistinguishable from new. Very, very nice piano. No defects. Good =
board, no killer octave, she loves the action, looks like new, etc.

Seems to me the prices you are looking at may be a bit steep.
