$1,000 has struck me as the 'benchmark' figure these days. I'd give the plus/minus $100 - $150.
Some in 'pristine' condition are going to be tagged a bit more and, of course, the end price in California will most likely be a little higher.
Any with a 'starting' price of $1,500 or more had better have something 'special,' be it historical significance, rarity, or similar. On the flip side, any with a 'starting' price of $600/$700, I'd be careful and give it or have it given a good going over. That was the 'benchmark' about 15 years ago, when they were still being produced new. Not that a true 'deal' can't be found, but I'm not sure that a good condition Browning is 'only' worth what a clone costs as a normal price point.
The price has, generally, come back down now that the 'rush' has abated in terms of them going out of production. But, as has been said, it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. As has already been mentioned, however, it's more about the availability at this point.
