According to Kevin Kichinka's Pricing Guide, as of July 2005 the average
asking price of Murchison by 13 dealers was $90/g. As of February 2007, 
8 dealers were selling it at an 11.4% increase, at $100.25/g. Kevin 
admits to subjective decisions on his average price based on such things 
as weight, cut, surface area, quality, crust, labels, etc., so maybe 
$40-50 is reasonable for the right piece: i.e., a large fragment lacking 
nice crust and with few other quality features. Good luck.
