I checked--no.  The price of his wand is 7 Galleons, and the prices 
of unicorn horns and beetle eyes are given, though Harry doesn't buy 
them (21 G per for the horns, 5 K/scoop for the eyes).  We don't have 
any idea how much he takes out of his vault, either.

 of his pocket and unfolding it.
   "Map of Hogwarts," said Harry. . . .
   "Merlin's beard," Moody whispered, staring at the map, his magical 
 eye going haywire.  "This . . . this is some map, Potter!" 
   "Yeah, it's . . . quite useful," Harry said.
