New about US$1000.
The two backs I found in used, yet mint condition went for less than 
US$300.
These are Pro-S backs btw, ie with the mechanism to prevent double
exposure and idle transport.
Note that RB is identical to Graflok 2x3, so you could even mount
one on a Speed or Crown Graphic (only those with Graflok back, and
they seem more rare than with Graphic 4x5's) and have full
tilt/swing capabilities. 

Now I only need a Pro-S body and lenses....:-))
