Perhaps we could do some benchmarking by looking at today's Boston Globe 
listings:

St Bs: 37K, 44K
St O: 24K, 28K
St A: 34K, 36K, 95.5K (art case remanuf by Peter Mohr)
St D: 45K
St C: 27K
Of course conditions vary, from fully remanufactured to reconditioned, 
and most of the prices are probably  subject to negotiation
