Default Need advice on buying parts

So I was lightly rear ended at a stoplight awhile back (no frame damage thank goodness), and now have the opportunity to buy a trunk lid/taillights with all the innards. I'm also looking to buy a passenger headlight lens. My dilemma is that I have no clue on what a fair price would be for these items. He's shown me pics of the car and the paint looks to be in great condition. Does anyone have a ballpark figure I should shoot for? I don't have much experience on buying these kind of parts secondhand. Thanks!

Edit: I am within driving distance of the parts, so shipping won't be an issue.

All of the rear bits including the trunk lid, taillights and bumper are the same for C4 100s = UrS4 and C4 A6s = UrS6. So you don't need specific UrS parts. This could affect pricing.

$200 for the trunk lid
$50/each for the outer corner lights
$50/each for the inners

Or less if you can get them.

The DOT headlight lenses are not a replacment part. Fortunately the Euro headlight lenses are. I think 034 had these (best done as pair). Several DIYs out there if you search.

$200 for a trunk lid? I wouldn't pay more than $50 for one!
car-part.com might help give you a better idea what parts are going to cost retail.

GVAP has empty (no hardware) trunk lid 4A5827023E shells for US$648.

Car-part.com lists 95 A6 trunk lids from $305 to $150 on the first page of the search results, sorted on best grade to least.
