As we don't know the content of the logs it's difficult to assess the value that conceiling the logs has to Eliezer. Without a person who would plausible pay real money to him for revealing the logs I don't think it makes sense for Eliezer to give you a $ number.

that doesn't make any sense at all. ELIEZER knows how valuable they are to him. He's rational enough that if he thinks about it he would realize there is an amount of dollars someone could pay him that would get him to reveal it, and it's in his interest to be paid those dollars since by definition it's a profitable transaction. And it can only take place if he says what the price is.
