    It really depends on the markings. Misbar clowns go for cheaper, but as you head into the really cool markings (more white), you get into the hundreds of dollars. I have seen snowcassos (all white) for $400 each. .....and everything in-between. A hundred or two for a nicely marked mated pair is fair in my book. Here is a site that has, from time to time, some very nice specimens

    I'd say don't get it too cheap. 39.99 to 125.00 for a pair. I saw one on liveaquaria.com WYSWYG as a pair for over 600.00 ( I think they were picassos)
