I don't think anyone can answer the question of a "fair price" because we do not know your location, (city, town, rural) nor do we know the economic situation most people are in (rich, average, poor). I would suggest that you contact the previous retired groomer and talk with him....how much did he clear at the end of the year, what was his rental agreement, maybe you can purchase some of his used equipment (scissors, blades, clippers, etc). How much did he spend on supplies a month, what insurance did he have, etc. He will be a rich source of info.
Good Luck
Happy gathering info
