We paid about $2000 for a 120,000 word edit after we went through and did our own passes based on what the editor advised from reading the first 5 chapters (eg, eliminate the worst aspects). The $2000 was a moderately low cost edit but like I said, we compromised and did some of the rudimentary stuff.
Proofing was another $500 or so.
Our first choice was about $10,000 for the edit but it was a fully comprehensive one.
