How is "Hofner Icon Series Vintage Violin Bass" which is $350, different from $2700 hofner bass?

is it fake? copied by other brand? or lower quality hofner bass manufactured by "hofner"? It has been my dream to get Paul McCartney model bass and when I found this on the internet, I couldnt believe the price I was seeing.
The parts on the Icon series probably are inferior, and cheap asian labour used, whilst the $2700 would have been done in Germany using the proper materials. Either way though, Viola basses aren't that great. I mean they're short scale.

My grandmother gave me a Hofner violin bass, probobaly from the 60's because it was her husbands who is 85. It has some minor minor wear. She also gave me an non brand bass. Both were found in her basement. Now, I need some money and want to sell these, but first, is there anywhere I can get these appraised like at a Guitar Center or something like that? I wonder how much the Hofner is though.
