Cover to Iron Man 98

When I started collecting art about 1 1/2 years ago, I quickly put together a list of art that I would love to someday own. On that list is one of my child hood favorite covers - Iron Man 98 - which features Iron Man v SunFire. Today I stumbled upon an Ebay auction for that cover and assumed it likely would fetch $3-4k so I would take a run at it. Upon opening the auction I realized I just had to cross it off of my list and consider getting a Bob Layton recreation. Click the link to see why

I'm almost completely ignorant when it comes to original cover artwork, but is that not over priced?

My guess is that's about 3 times overpriced.
