None have been sold for a long time, so it's hard to fix a price. There was some discusison in this thread as well:

For a quick cheap and low damage tag gun it's not bad at all. Fairly low cost of use, and the decays great as well. True, you hit a mob with it the damage is often low, and the mob has regenerated it by the time it reaches you. Probably wouldn't get that as much with say a Marber, but I've always considered that:
-It's a laser rifle, and so contributes to relavent skills (assuming you skill laser)
-Costs less per shot than the marber. so if you miss you 'waste' less PED.
Only issue is that they are kind of hard to find, especially ones for sale. To be honest you can probably do better for your money nowadays. As people have mentioned, there is a Marber (range + damage) or the rocket launcher. Rockets aren't a bad idea, since it's probably the cheapest option available for a 'tagger'. But often the reason poeple want to tag mobs is to get a single one out of a herd - which is hard to do with area effect damage.
So realy you're probably going to be looking at an A&P Brave ME as the cheapest non-L option, then perhaps a Marber, and finally a Fire Forge as the most expensive. Think at the moment the cheapest marber is the Echo at around +500. Before I got any real long range rifles, I used the Brave ME, and can say it works pretty well. Really not bad to tag low end stuff, but suppose later on you may want to be looking at something with a little more range.
