If it's new and has never been mounted, I'd say around $800-$900. I wouldn't buy it as I have no use for a scope with that high of a magnification, so it would depend on what a person would want it for.
Just keep in mind that once you get past 16x or so, you really start to notice optics quality and a dim view at low light. I've had a 2.5-16 Elite 6500 and while it was OK, it wasn't great. In other words, don't expect it to be as clear as a $2000+ scope of the same magnification.

There is one on EE right now. http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php/1248487-Bushnell-6500-4-5-30-x50

Yeah, my estimate was probably a bit high considering they have the dubious distinction of being discontinued Bushnells.

Might do on a 223 or 22-250 for gophers. Not sure what else a person would want it for.

Depends on condition. New they are still over $1000 before tax at the shops I've been to lately. I was pleasantly surprised by the clarity in mine, I had low expectations because it was a Bushnell but I think they are starting to up their game with their new scope production.
there's only one way to find out!
(by the way, make sure the scope is genuine. There are Bushnell fakes like this http://www.opticsplanet.com/msgboard/about9-12304.html or this: http://novascotiahunting.com/forums/index.php?/topic/6481-counterfeit-bushnell-scopes/)
