Default crack repair cost

I'm looking at a steeply discounted guitar with a solid rosewood back that has a 12" long thin crack on back in the area of the lower bout.

Can anyone give me an idea as to how much this might cost to have a professional repair done - assuming this is the only work needed?

Cost will depend on whether you want the fix to be invisible or not. I had a top crack properly repaired for less than $40 because I wasn't concerned with looks. It would have cost hundreds more otherwise.
