I couldn't get to ebay auction for the Charvel, but if its a 2005 San Dimas pointy - these are great guitars. There's been some reported problems with the clear lifting on the headstock, but that can be fixed by Charvel - lifetime warranty. Don't know how much they were asking in the auction, but these typically go for $600 - $800. They were not great sellers when they came out and were blown out by dealers at $1000 at the end. The ProMods further devalued them when they came out in 2008.

If you're seeking a vintage Charvel - strat head or pointy, be prepared to do your homework because there's a lot of fakes out there. moreso with the strat heads, but the pointies have there share as well. Buy from a reputable collector. These have been pretty scarce on the market and I would be prepared to pay more than $1500 since Jackson pointies are approaching the $1000 and over mark as well.

If you didn't like your Model 1, you may not like a USA Charvel, either. The most significant difference is the finish on the neck - otherwise, the frets, fretboard radius, and basic geometry is the same. USA's just had different body wood (typically alder, but could be anything) and an oiled neck. San Dimas Charvels typically had Duncan or Dimarzio pickups - Jackson pickups didn't come along until Charvel pointies were largely discontinued.
