I found this bench a few weeks ago on craiglist! It happened to be owned by a coworker who had stored it in his attic for the last 15 or so years. They were dirty and dusty but in great shape. The bench was one of dozens used in the Savannah/Hilton Head airport from the mid 70's through the end of the century. So happy to have a piece of local history in my home! The chairs are white shells with brown naugahyde and navy piping. Great! I plan on finding a rustic wooden rectangular tabletop and using the chairs as bench seating!

I would think it depends on condition/color combination/buyer. I paid 190$ for mine. Shipping would be very expensive. Are you in the Savannah area?? I have seen these listed on ebay for a lot more but they were different configurations (shock mounted without naugahyde covers). If you listed the item on craiglist it would depend on your local market. If you are near Savannah, message me as I would be interested!

I would agree that it very much depends on local markets and condition/configuration but I have seen various setups similar to this in the 750-1500 range (that's retail, so selling privately is normally less unless you're very patient) and in a smaller market would be less. 
yiu should find as much information about your chairs as possible; not all Herman Miller Eames shells are created equal
