hi guys my boss is considering upgrading from sql server 2000 to sql server 2005. Any ideas how much on average it costs to purchase the software?

Which edition (Workgroup, Standard, Enterprise)?
What licensing model (per client or per Processor)?
Do you have a Select Agreement with Microsoft and if so, do you have SA (Software Assurance) on your SQL2000 licenses? How about Open Licensing?
All these factors can radicaly alter the outcome of the pricing.
Amazon.com has some fairly standard retail pricing, but there are a lot of cheaper alternatives depending upon your requirements.

I had the software assurance...got 2005 std for the cost of the media. Less than $30.
