It's hard for me to fathom, but D 18s from the mid to late 60s that have already had neck resets have been listed in the mid to high $3,000s recently. So realistically you could buy one in need of work for $2K and still have a market value guitar when all is said and done. The recent thread regarding a D 40 from that era has me wondering what you'd need to buy one for to have the neck reset and still do OK. The numbers don't add up if you pay more than $500 for one, unless you can find someone like the recent thread described.
Hard to fathom how many guitars will end up in closets because owners won't accept a realistic price to sell, and won't invest in fixing them. A real shame akin to the many Alverez and Yamahas of the 70s in the same boat.
