What would a fair price be for a 55 gallon steel drum feeder with 3 legs, ladder, a lid, fresh paint, and no timer?

Well you can buy a 55 gal barrel for 25 bucks, leg brackets for 25 bucks, and find most anything for support legs. Probably 75 for the barrel etc. and get a timer for about 40 bucks. Just depents on which way you want to go. The 40 gal deal from Academy is not too bad. Just kinda small barrel

feeder cost revised

I did not see the "ladder" when I read it the first time. A 3 legged feeder with a ladder (on most feeders with a ladder that I've seen, the 3rd leg is the ladder) may be nice/well made and originally real pricey-so I'll revise my original estimate to $100.

I just did this and this is what I came up with. Used the top rail of a chain link fence for legs and the barrel was free just had to get it sand blasted.

Leg Brackets, Funnel, Varmint Guard bought at Academy.
Paint and Legs Bought at Home Depot.
