Sam,

Take a look at ebay.com. That should give you a pretty good idea of what used equipment goes for. As far as the 3550s go, you can get them new from lanstreet.com for less than most people sell them for on E-bay. I've never used lanstreet.com, but I've seen comments on the list from others who have used them, and been happy with them.

One other thing to consider. Cisco software licenses are not transferable. Technically, you are supposed to buy new licenses for any used equipment you use. My point is, that there is no reason to pay more for a used 3550 EMI over an SMI, or enterprise IOS over IP only, since you really aren't buying the software license anyway.
