Isn't this an overpriced instrument?

I don't know the shape of the pads (it was a marching band flute), but I just feel like thats overpriced. Am I wrong?

Yep. That's overpriced. The 80B has a sterling headjoint, sterling body and plated keys. It's not a bad flute, but it's not worth that kind of money. I don't think they make that model anymore, but even new I think they were being sold at a discount at around $900.

Here's a similar one I found on eBay - starting at $700 - no bids yet:
