Not sure how recent that price is but paired material or probably paired material sells for less than $1,000/g in small quantities and did in Tucson.

I am presently selling a piece which has been validated by Dr. Irving as being paired with 7325 (just did not get my own number but had him run the tests) for $650/g. The piece can be seen here http://www.meteoritesusa.com/nwa7325/

Best,
