I have a nickle-plated 42. I paid $500 shipped for it. The gun is mint, no buffing, no pitting, sharp edges etc, numbers matching, no import. It was probably plated when the gun was more or less new right after the War by the GI that liberated it. Basically deduct 80% for plating, in my example.

Plated guns all seem to be around $500 +/- a few hundred with little regard to make or model...unless of course, it's a special presentation gun taken from an officer or Goering.
