It's entirely up to the DM since being able to buy magic items is an optional rule, but page 135 of the DMG provides some suggestions what to set the cost at based on rarity of the item.

As page. 135 of the DMG explains.

5E assumes that Magic Items are so rare that they can't just be purchused.

 

But it's upto the DM's discression and they give suggestions on how buying magical items could work in worlds where they are more common. The table on page 135 gives a rough price range.
