Default How much for a workable vert top frame?

My 68 is missing the soft top and frame. I'm not too upset about it because I only intend to drive it in nice weather anyway, but how much can I expect to pay for a frame when/if I get a bug up my butt to find one?

Figure $1000+ for one with a good front bow. Maybe $700 with a rotten one.

I saw that one and I'm tracking it. Depending on where bidding goes I might take a shot at it. I'm not desperate enough to go the Buy-it-now route though. I'll wait for Carlisle.
