Hello Sheldon,
guessing rough, I would say a correct offer would be something like 2500 USD, +/- 500 USD, if they are all original and no partsrites. Do you know the serial numbers of those guitars? You said they are "Mosrite Venture", so do they have a Ventures logo at the headstock? Or do they say Mosrite 1988? Do they have a German carve and a pickguard (Ventures or V1988) or rounded edges without a pickguard (M1988)? Try to get some pictures and post them here...
I'd ask the seller first what he wants before making an offer ;-)
If you don't want all three: I'm looking for an M1988...
Cheers, Max
