Prices will vary widely depending on what you're looking for.

A .22 plinker will be in the $250-350 range.

A pocket-pistol can go as low as $75 for a Bryco or Jennings or comparable crap to $250-$300 or so for a kel-tec to $500 for a Sig 232 or small Beretta. These will usually be .380 or smaller in caliber.

A compact to full-size auto will be $200 to $500+, depending on model and caliber.

A good reference will be some of the auction boards such as gunbroker or auctionarms. Another reference source is cdnninvestments.com. Download their catalog (big--12MB) but it contains a lot of guns, new and used.
