New, they usually run between 50-100.  But if you find 
where they take furnaces when they are no longer used 
(ie..changing from fuel oil to nat. gas) then you can 
usually get them really cheap (usually under 40 bucks) 
 Call around to your local furnace repair companies or 
actual heating/cooling sales companies for your local 
prices.
