I think its value would depend on where it was being sold. Like with the Washburn guitar which sold recently, it's not one of Mike's signature instruments, so would have less collector value from that point of view. I don't believe it was used on any of his big-selling albums either, so loses that as a selling point. I would think that to raise its value to the general public, it would either need to have been used on Tubular Bells (or possibly Tubular Bells II, or maybe Moonlight Shadow) or be a set of Tubular Bells. Other than that, an instrument's connection with Mike probably wouldn't raise its value by too much.
However, having Mike's inscriptions on it does make it a fascinating piece of history. It would have been used on Islands. You'd probably find that a fan would pay a premium for that. The K250 is fairly sought after anyway, especially for its weighted wooden keyboard. I'd probably insure it for somewhere around £1000, perhaps even a little more.
