1. $1500-$2500. Here's an example:

2. $500 - $800

These are my estimates based on not just these sales, but watching selling prices in many different outlets over the past year or so and if anything may be a little on the high side. You can expect a little less from eBay than selling on consignment in a good store, but the commission would probably account for much of the difference.
