I would say no more than $50, it's really not that much work.

Bring it down to a local body shop. They can tell you for sure.

Paint isn't really thick enough to do too much buffing without going through the clearcoat. If the scratch didn't go all the way through the color coat they may be able to fill in the clear then sand flat and buff it out. I had one of those and it worked for me, you have to look really hard to find it. Good luck and it shouldn't cost That much.

it all depends just how DEEP they really are. if you can run your nail across it and your nail catches..then your probly not gonna be able to have them buffed out all the way.
i would expect ot pay at least 100$ or more...just for the fact that if they are deep a simple polish wont take them out alone it will probly need ot be wetsanded then polished for best results.
