IIRC, not many of these were made and they originally went for $500-$600 (some models came with Seymour Duncans). It seems to be in pretty good shape but at over 9 lbs, a bit on the zoftig side:

PSA: Agile AL-3500 for sale on Reverb $299
I'm pretty sure all the no-name Agile Alnico pickups use A5 magnets, A magnet swap is certainly easy enough, even with limited mechanical aptitude, there are plenty of YT How-Tos...
Delightful mix of insolence, arrogance and narcissism

No idea what the magnets are, but I have always considered the pickups to be the best part of my AL-3500. Overall, it is a great guitar, but those pickups distinguish it well from my other humbuckery Agiles. They love them some nice breakup.

I saw that on my reverb feed the other day, it actually looks to be pretty grungy - the frets, tuners and other hardware looks really oxidized if you open the images directly and zoom in. The size of that chunk missing out of the face of the headstock would have me a little leery too. It would likely clean up nice and they are indeed a rare bird, but even $300 seems a bit of a stretch for something that will need a lot of work.
