i paid $250, that was with me supplying the gear and taking the housing out of the car and dropping it off.
Just got mine done... Had new 3.73s and all new bearings/seals replaced/installed and cost me 550 out the door.. That includes parts and labor.. Had a shop tell me it was going to cost 1700-1900 to rebuild the rear, and I quickly gave them the 
and took my car somewhere else.. Look around would be my biggest advice, there's always going to be someone out there that does great work for a good price

300$ here,
Its important that they get installed correctly, so you might want to check the place out if they offer any less then 250
thats with the parts supplied

Hey Jersey guys, when are y'all doing the gear swap? I'm in DE and would like to do the same thing...PM me if interested
It is really not that hard to intall the gears, just triple check everything while doing the install. Their are some excellent write ups on the internet that came in very useful when I put mine in last summer. Here is a couple of tips for you, put the ring gear in boiling for a while before sliding it onto the carrier, this makes it much easier. Also put the pinion bearing in the oven @ 200* for 30 minutes before sliding t onto the pinion gear. Trust me these two tips will make you life alot easier.

Keep it lubed .... keep it straight .... and keep
$250 at the shop I go to. All you have to do is supply the gear set. I think that is your average price.

In total, I paid around 900$ CND and that's because I got ripped off by the dude.
A supposed-to-know-howto-install-gears did it on mine for approx 600$.
After that install there was a significant and constant grind coming from my gear box the same mech didn't knew what the hell it was so I had to go see a gear specialist and he found the problem... for 300$.
Gears install gone wrong fo sho.
