I've seen designers offer to develop custom themes for as low as US$30 and as high as $1500. A lot depends on whether the designer is a professional (ie. does themes as a business and perhaps the sole means of earning an income) or a hobbyist who just does this work for a bit of extra income. It also depends on where the designer is from - theme designers in countries where a US dollar is worth a lot of money tend to charge very little. Price does not usually reflect quality either and some of the more expensive themes can be just as badly coded as some cheaper themes. A lot of extra functionality can also be added through the theme too, which makes it really hard to compare prices - one would expect that a theme incorporating a shopping cart, for example, would cost more than a basic custom theme that doesn't do much more than change the CSS on the default Kubric theme! This really is an unknown and would be a good topic for a survey (if everyone answered honestly).
