I've been in this situation several times with various items.  One technique
which has worked fine for me is to find some places around which sell the
item in question and ask for its price.  Most or all places will quote a price
over the phone.  If your friend can find a place(s) which sell both used
and new canoes, she's in business.  They should give her a good idea how
much a used canoe cost with respect to its cost new.
