I'm looking forward to your replys...
I just wanted to go back to the exact guestion - is what is a resonable price for a yorkie with a great health guarantee, parents tested and from a reputable breeder -

Well - JMO, since a responsible/reputable breeder will have nice quality dogs that are evaluated against the standard, since they care about what they are producing, she would have great pedigrees on her dogs, test all parents and puppies, have top care for all her dogs, give them the best and spend a lot of time with her dogs/pups to be sure they are well socialized and research herself to be up on the standard and other issues regarding yorkies, since this is her/his passion and would be there later for the lifetime of the pup - all this cost time and money for her/him and s/he would most likely pass the price on to the buyers, especially since her/his parents that s/he breed were of respectable price. I would not expect her/him to be selling pups for less.
