Here is a data point, based on my experience, for this discussion now that it has expanded a bit.
I started with a stock 7" Type-II Torsen with 4.30 gears (stock '99 differential)
I purchased new 3.63 gears (~$350)
A local experienced diff builder did the gear swap for $250
I sold the 4.30 gears, which were in great condition, for $200
My net cost was thus about $400. I am not including the value of the original unit, or my labor for installation and removal of the diff assy. The latter is not applicable here. The former is.
So I think the approximate value here is whatever a 4.30 Type-II Torsen diff assy (great condition) is worth, plus $400, plus the worth of the halfshafts. That should get you over $1000 easy IMO.
