I payed $2700 with hard case for mine, but that was 14 years ago.
I think they currently are going for $8,000 plus for new.
Depending on condition, I'd offer $3,000 and be willing to negotiate.
And be glad the instrument isn't on eBay. Everything unusual (tubas included) goes for more than they are worth there.
Just my opinion.
