Default AC noise on GS400

Hi everybody,
Recently I bought this awesome car but with some problems that I'm trying to fix with a minimum money.
Here is one of the problem with the car. The AC blows cold but compressor makes noise when idle. It goes really loud when rpms dropping down after acceleration. I thought maybe the compressor is overcharged so I have checked the pressure. Here is the video of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gk_bx...ature=youtu.be . Please, if somebody knows something, give me some idea how can I fix it, what exactly is broken and how long will it live with that noise?
Thank you everybody for input !

I have a reply from youtube that compressor is dying. So I looked at the prices on ebay for the new one. Why they are so different, starting from $290 for Denso and up to $500 for the same Denso. Same stuff but prices are different? Did anybody had luck using rebuild compressors or even used? Is it worth buying them or new is strongly recommended?
