Since Barenia is both rare and prone to marks, there's a big swing in pricing. As the previous post mentioned condition is going to be the main factor as well as the rarity of the color/combo of hardware and what's on the market. There have been a few periods in the last few years where there were a lot of Barenia Kelly on the market and the prices were lower at that time. HACs pop up quite a bit too.

I paid a slight premium for a used Barenia B35 because it's a grail color for me and had gold shiny hardware. It was from a trusted seller and I've had no regrets! Do some research, set up some alerts on eBay and Google and you'll get an idea of the prices out there but anywhere from $6-$10K for used would be by estimate. Unused will be much higher than retail. Good luck!

Thank you MrsOwen3. The one I am going to buy will be a little over 10k from a trusted seller. It is B30 fauve color - the size that I was looking for. Condition is very good. It is very hard to find one in 30cm nowadays so it is hard to get the prices.

Thanks @danny123!
I've posted some pics in the before and after thread mistikat suggested. I'll pop a couple in here is well. I didn't work a miracle,but it wasn't my intent to. I just wanted to clean surface soil and condition the leather as it was so dry. IMG_1498912543.721095.jpgIMG_1498912554.220946.jpg

That's a lovely compliment, I do love my smooth leathers and the craftsmanship of a Sellier combined with the Barenia is just mind blowing-ly beautiful.
I would like to say my H year ends now in July but I think we all know how that goes. Fortunately I am done with bags for a long while and I'm looking forward to shawls, shoes and maybe a wallet late this year.

I think the pricing is about right. I got mine (fauve B30) from a trusted reseller in Europe for only a tad bit lower than USD 10K, but back then EUR was lower. Used with good corners/no obvious scratch on hardwares, 10 yrs old, it has a tiny spot at the front (haha some members might remember how panic I was!!! But this thread helps a lot.) With some cleaning and conditioning, it looks fine to me. And most importantly I love it!!!! It's not easy to find one with good condition, so go snatch it up!
You can also look for my earlier post, your find sounds like it's in even better condition. Congrats! Do share picture once you get it.
