You're 100% correct that they should be around the ballpark of $2500. That's basically what I would pay for 2008(ish) Ninja 250 (in good condition).

However, $2500 seems to be the exceptions to the rule and I've always looked at it as, the market cost is dictated by the general average, rather than exception-to-the-rule cost; and since the general average hovers around more-or-less $3K, when I see a bike priced aggressively low, from experience, I always approach it with caution.
