Complete and operational J47 - current market value?

A ballpark number is adequate. Sorry, no available specifics as to type, but probably either a GE-13 or GE-17. Thanks in advance!

More details: The engine in question was military surplus, revived for non-aviation use, and operated regularly in the sixties. Any chance it could be re-certified, and if so, would it be cost-effective to do so? I had seen the one on eBay, a static display model, non-operational. This one is operational.

Depends on what you want to do with it: not much point in getting logbooks up to date if it's a GE-17.
