For a great site on Miller's Falls Braces see:

I always check eBay for completed auctions to see what they went for. You
can usually get a pretty good idea from 5-10 auctions what people are
willing to spend. However, in your case I didn't find any completed ones
and only 1 active listing
(http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3254061692&category=1387
2). As of right now it's down to 6 hours left and no bids at $10. Who
knows if there will be a last minute flurry of bids, but usually if there is
interest at that price at least one person will have bid by now. So, my
completely layman's estimate is $5-15.
I have about 20 braces and I don't think I paid more than $5 for any of the
braces. Before you ask I thought they'd look cool hanging on the wall
along with the approx 75 planes, 20 scribes, 10 folding rulers, 5 bow saws,
20 squares, etc (I need a life or at least a bigger shop).
