Depends on length of run, trenching costs, parts, etc.  My estimate was over $1300 since it will be 150' from the subpanel.  Make sure he pulls a permit.

You are getting an unbelievable deal.  I paid more than that for the cost of materials.  My GFCI breaker alone was $120.

 I paid $350 for the GFI box and to connect into my main panel and run the wire about 10 feet. Included putting an 110v outlet by the panel too.  

I thought I got a good deal. $250 seems very reasonable.

I bought the GFCI box myself for $89 since the electrician said that his supplier charged more than Lowes and he suggested that I get that myself.  The electrician charged $325 for the wiring.

It all depends on how long a span, underground, through the attic, etc. You obviously have a simple run but overall you're spending far less than most.
