I've no idea what an acoustic one will cost, but I'm sure that being non velocity dependent you can get a much more accurate digital harpsichord emulation than piano, for a decent price (you'd probably be best of getting a midi controller and external hardware or software sounds).

Here's a digital one. I don't like the fact that it is only single manual though. Some music may require dual manual playing.

everyone knows how much a digital one costs = =
But does anyone knows how much does a real one cost?

For a "professional" harpsichord, check here:

They range from around $5-6000 used to over $20 000 for large custom-built models.

That website in the previous post helped reinforce my own impressions.
The expression you use -- just "a harpsichord" -- is not helpful at all. A modern grand piano is a modern grand piano -- it is fairly simple. The design is standardized.
Not so with harpsichords. There are many types and styles of harpsichord. You need to clarify much better what you are talking about.
