There's one on 1stdibs for $1800. I'm sure they would take $1500 if you showed up with cash in your hand. It's in Palm Springs, which isn't far from San Diego.

advice for stuffing Eames?
I have a Compact like the white one in the post above, but mine is black.
The two back panels are good, but the seat has been losing its stuffing over the years - its like an orange sawdustish material.
Anyone have any idea how I can get it restuffed? Where, perhaps? And an approx price for doing this?
I'm in washington dc.
Thx in advance.
What you're seeing is latex foam powder.
When latex foam (aka "foam rubber") gets old, it hardens and eventually turns to powder; the sofa wasn't stuffed with that powder originally.
Any competent upholsterer should be able to open up the cushion, remove the deteriorated foam, and replace it. If you can't find an upholsterer who specializes in modern furniture (or even if you can), bring a photo of a sofa in perfect condition so he can see how the cushion is supposed to look: square and flat, not rounded and overstuffed. The foam should be firm and thin, not soft and thick.
