How much does a good quality, beginner's cello cost?

I have been searching through Yahoo Answers to find how much a decent, beginner's cello cost, but I have found price ranges from $200-$300,000. I was wondering how much a used decent quality cello would cost along with a bow and how much a brand new one would cost. And lessons? I really want to learn how to play the cello, but I would like to know how much private lessons would cost. I already play the trombone through school so I already understand music dynamics I just need guidance to playing the cello properly and well. Thank you!
