(This is a difficult value to estimate, given the lack of easily
available data for second-hand glider prices throughout a reasonable
time span.)

The info is available.

For example, if you are interested in a Std. Libelle 201, go to the
Soaring Mag archives look in the classifieds, and see what a
particular sailplane was selling for in the 70's, 80's, 90's, etc and
you will get the general idea that will help you. The sailplanes
condition also plays into the equation.
