As far as price? Whatever you and the seller agree on sounds fine. For information, see:

follow links in the paragraph. Karkee Web is the best site on the internet for British web gear.

These go for about £30 to £60 depending on condition obviously while their predecessors with the thigh-length vertical straps as shown in the link above can fetch a lot more. In fact there is a mint-condition one on sale on ebay at the moment for a ludicrous £345 starting bid but he has no bidders at the moment and I'll eat my hat if he does.

A tatty cut down or short version are not that valuable, the long version as canti mentioned can be very pricey. In this condition about £10-20 IMHO.

By chance there's a pretty clean looking cut-down version on E-bay at the moment.
