My recommendation would be to explain that the "book" value is around $2000, and that book values are sometimes low and sometimes high. Moreover, a dealer would pay less than book in hopes of turning it around and making a profit, while a collector might pay full value.
If he chooses to put it on eBay, he should be aware of the potential value so he can set reserves or minimum bids accordingly, or he might want to consider other dealers or auction houses that cater to a specialized market.
That said, I think it's perfectly fine to explain that you are not in a position to pay that type of money, and the most you could afford at this time might be $____.
If he sells to you with all that information at his fingertips, I think you can sleep at night.
