I have seen them go on e-Bay....usually between $800 to $2000 price range... depends allot on the condition of the bell... the shipping can also be costly; as these bells can range from 70 pounds to over 225 pounds with their bell-cradle..

There is a smaller, nice looking aluminum reproduction for sale on eBay for about $120...tempting??
