I can't find any eBay listings for opened (but complete) duel decks. Got a Divine vs Demonic and Elves vs Goblins that are both missing a few dollar bin cards (7 cards altogether, that I plan on acquiring shortly to complete the four decklists) and a Jace vs Chandra with a bit more work to do (7 cards, including both PW and AV). We're talking original print here, not Duel deck anthology.
So, any indication on how much I could ask/fetch for those?

No. Sealed Duel Decks are of value to collectors of sealed product, but opened Duel Decks are only as valuable as the sum total of their singles (and usually only the expensive singles). Your market is twofold:
1) Collectors who don't care about having it sealed and only want one of every card
2) People who want the singles for a reasonable price
Elves vs Goblins is more like $50 in singles, and it's unlikely that someone will want all of them.

3) People who want to play the duel decks
If we're being pedantic, then technically 3 is a subset of 2. People who want to play with the duel deck want the singles at a reasonable price.

I collect Duel Deck complete sets but have never seen them offered that way so I just buy sealed and open them.
I got a deal on duel decks anthology sealed but that I might keep that way
So, any indication on how much I could ask/fetch for those?
SCG/TCG has them listed (sealed) for:
JvC: 150$ / 122$
EvG: 150$ / 157$
DvD: 100$ / 109$
Is half price a fair price?

Yes, that's correct.
