Way too much. In late 2012, I bought a 2011 Alpha (Madone geometry) 2.1 on eBay for $750 shipped, very good condition with 105 group. In 2013, I bought a 2013 Madone 2.1 with the latest geometry for only $600 from a local clubmember...granted, that was an amazing deal and the guy was just getting out of cycling entirely, but that goes to show you that $650 is WAY too much for a 2009 Trek 1.x or 2.x. Looks at Bicycle Blue Book, and considering that this is (is it?) a 9-speed rear, I wouldn't pay more than the $350 suggested earlier. Around $650 (or less!) you should be able to get your hands on a 2011 or 2012 Trek 2.1, simply a better bike all around and with better groupset too.
