In Virginia I have seen anywhere from $240-270 for the blue.  It all depends how much you want the frame.  

Do they offer a barrel with it and if so how much for the complete unit?

They have used barrels.  I was looking at the 30-30 14 inch blue.  It had a scope mount and front sight but no rear sight.  They want 150.00 for it but I can get a new one for 202.00 with sights.  Thanks for the imput.

I just bought a new G2 contender Carbine with the 23 inch 45-70 barrel. Now I have to get a pistol grip and a good hunting barrel. I may get a 35 Remington 15 inch barrel. I had one with my old contender. Its a hell of a big game hunting barrel and I got close to rifle ballistics with the 180 grain spire point.
shot placement is everything.

Well I bought the frame $288 there was a $9 charge for registration.  I then bought a 30-30 barrel NIB at another shop.  Well I put it all together and it wouldn't cock.  I took it back to the place I bought the frame and ask them if I was doing something wrong and he couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work either.  He had me leave it there for the owner to look at.  So I came home and started to do some resource on the problem.  I found the answer on this forum.  THANKS GUYS.  I called TC the next morning and talked to the gunsmith who said he would gladly send me the parts I needed.  When I went to pick up the gun the owner had called them to but said he wanted to send it back to TC to get it fit properly.  I thought that was pretty good of him since it was the barrel that was the problem.  Also at no charge to me.  So now I am waiting for its return.  He said about 10 days.  Dang its hard to buy a gun and not be able to shoot it for 2 weeks.

I bought one for $255.  It was available at 2 other gun stores for $265 and $285.  All in Anchorage, AK.  I like the ability to recock the hammer without breaking the action.  However, it took some skin off of my trigger finger after a dozen shots with a 30-30 barrel.  The point where the finger wraps around the corner of the frame when it is in the trigger guard.   I guess it is due to the longer reach as a result of the new angle of the handle.  Looking for a pair of gloves...
