ebay listings don't tell you how much item's are selling for. For that information you need to do an advanced search, and select completed listings only.
I just did this search, two epics sold for under $1000, one minty one for $1650. The few listed over $2K and one for $1550 did not sell.
Sometimes it seems as if a seller will repeatedly list an item for above it's generally accepted value, in the hopes that after a while, buyers will get used to seeing the higher priced listings, and maybe start to believe they have appreciated! I see that happening lately with old Traynor amps. They keep getting relisted at highly inflated prices, and not selling.
BTW, I love my Epic too, a 96 that I scored a few years back, $1100 at my local used shop.
