Run of the mill Weinmanns might go for $30@ in good condition, other hoidy-toidy wheels considerably more.

$30 is a good deal if the bearings are smooth and the wheels are relatively true.

So to the original question, I would pay about $40 for a decent 700c wheelset with stainless spokes, $50 if they came with a good cassette. Recently I paid $40 for such a wheelset, with Shimano 600 hubs, a good cassette, tires, tubes. and they were 130mm OLD 8/9/10 speed rear. But I would have paid more for that set, maybe $75.
