I would say $400-$450 would be about right.

Picked up a set assembled for $350 shipped a couple weeks ago. Not the best deal ever, but if you're patient you can save some money.

I found mine locally on craigslist, fully assembled for $200. I wasnt even planning on buying heads for the car, but couldnt pass that up. Also found my TSP true dual locally on there, they were brand new, for $150. But like they said, 4-5 hundred is normal for the 243's.
