Do you have one, or are you buying one? The price would depend on how badly someone wants it.

Let's see...the Black Raspberry is the same ball as the Pink Raspberry and Blueberry.  The only differences are the box finishes (which can be tuned easily by hand as the solid PK18 cover takes to sanding and polishing very well):
Pink Raspberry - Matte
Black Raspberry - Sanded
Blueberry - Highly Polished

The Pink and Black are very rare NIB with the Pink being the rarest of the three.  If I were you, I'd go after a Blueberry and then just take a green scothbrite to it.  I tried to find a 15# NIB Blueberry on here about a month ago with only one user responding (Beans).  He wanted $200 for it and it had a 4-5.5" pin placement on it which is a borderline blem and limits drilling possibilites.  I would pay $150 shipped for it but would go no higher than that because drilling costs a lot in my area.

Heavy 15 usually means closer to the 16# range.
