The owner passed and no family left. Not an individual selling

I disagree, given the manufacturer is well-known and respected. I would have no problem buying a used S&W, Glock, Ruger, Walther, HK, FN, etc. Now, buying a used Hi Pernt or Taurus would give me pause (not that those are necessarily on the same plane though).
As for the guns' values, find the average market price of a new one on Gun Broker and then deduct about 20-30% for depreciation. For an extremely high round count (1000s of rounds) the depreciation would probably be around 50%.

Not very familiar with AO, but I think they are "true" 1911s, meaning you can replace parts very easily. Any doubt about springs, replace them. Usually unless someone has tried to modify a gun at home and screwed up, most parts will be fine, and you would likely just need springs and a new mag, if that. Often enough, a good cleaning is all that you need.
I've got a Sig P226 on the way for $315, and I expect to find no real issue with it, other than being "old". I plan on getting new springs after cleaning the gun, and will go from there.
I got a CZ 75 for $300 and a Beretta 92FS for $299, they are both great.
