What should I pay for 4 hives that are 2 deep each with bees in NY?  They look healthy and everything, come with some extra med supers with plastic frames also.  Not sure the going $, just know the price on nucs over here, thanks, Country :)

Here in OH, I sold a hive consisting of the bees in 1 deep and 1 medium for $150. It was a homemade hive and I know nucs go for around $95, so I didn't make much. Helped out a new beek, though.

50.00 each in Sept.
200 to 250 each in March.

We sell deep 10 frame deeps (frames and bees only) for $120-150 season dependent.
5 frame nucs $75-90.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

You should be able to find hives from larger bee operations that will be willing to sell before shipping their hives south for the winter.  It don't hurt to call and ask.
