This won't get you exact pricing, but it will give you an idea. Here's a link to a site that lists actual owner reviews of machines (there are hundreds!!), along with the approximate price they paid. You have to sign up to see the older reviews, but that only requires an email address. It helped me quite a bit with the last two machines I bought.
