First: Welcome to DF!
Second: It's widely considered to be foolish to install a used transmission into one of these trucks. The 46R is not well suited to truck duty, even when the truck is used primarily as a commuter vehicle. The hot ticket is to install an upgraded 46R when the factory original unit lets go, and so avoid the problem of premature transmission failure for the remaining life of the vehicle.
I don't know what a used transmission might be worth. In my entirely too arrogant opinion, less than $200 -- it's just a case and some hard parts, a rebuildable core. What it might be worth to someone else, well... gotta wait for someone else to answer, I guess.

If you can get it for $500, that's a decent price. $575 is a bit high, but not too bad. Let's put this is context: I have 168k on my original 46RE-and I have worked my truck HARD pulling trailers way over limit and hauling building materials as I build my house. So, if that tranny has been maintained well and you keep it maintained, you should expect another 100k out of it. Now, you can get a built up 46RE for around $1500-$1800, but why, if these last for folks who simply maintain them?

For the most part... Transmission wise...
