What is the going rate for the average camel?

It depends where you buy your camel.

Egypt:

$260 for a camel.

Kenya:

"One camel costs 36 goats or sheep. One camel costs three donkeys or 12 cows." he answers. Later I find out a camel costs 60 000 Kenyan shillings, around US$ 700/R 6 700.

Britain:

Expensive it appears.

"However, the camels come with hefty price tags. Owner Stuart Oates is hoping to sell his oldest, Myrtle, aged 12, for £13,000, while the cheapest, Magnus, aged one, will still cost £7,000."
