"New" old uprights

The note by Les Bartlett about "it was my grandmother's" old upright, and 
costing $7K to restore it brought a question to my mind:

Has anyone ever thought how much one of those old, ornate uprights would 
sell for new if manufactured today? I sometimes tell a customer "maybe 
between 10 and 20 thousand dollars", but I don't really have much to go 
on. Does anyone have a better estimate?

Maybe some of those old, beautiful pianos really ARE worth restoring!
