Brand new they cost $250 on eBay. They were never sold in stores. Based on the typical lifespan of cheap asian import horns, a used one should go for about $150. As long as it is actually playable, it shouldn't go much that, though

A B-Flat soprano sax is in the same key as a trumpet, clarinet, tenor sax, etc.. This is the most common soprano sax. If you were in band you'd probably be playing one of those parts as most band arrangements don't have a soprano sax part. An E-flat soprano sax is in the same key as an alto sax, or a bari sax. Sopranos in this key are less common & if you played this one in band they'd probably stick you with a alto sax part. My opinion is to get a b-flat as that is the most popular key for soprano & has more opportunities just in case the band actually does need a soprano, you'd be able to play the part.

The soprano sax is smaller than the alto, but im not sure how big it exactly is
Yes, he does. He played alto and tenor as well as soprano on some of his earlier recordings, and still occasionally uses them (such as on his cover of "Pick up the Pieces" with David Sanborn).
The soprano saxophone is in B-flat, one octave above the tenor.
