Without knowing the model and year, that price might be a bit steep for a 60's Fender Lap 6, but pawn shops will try to get ya. Do a little homework and offer them about 1/2 that and see what happens.
I scored this '57 Fender Studio Deluxe (basically a Champ with screw-in legs)at a pawn shop for a crazy-lowball price. (I might as well have stolen it.) I needed to do some restoration (new tuners, a bunch of cleaning, clean the case). I sighted similar ones sold on e-bay a few months ago and it's not quite that high in price range.
