So, I recently won a Gantungensis at auction and noticed it has a basal shoot on it. I was wondering if there was any interest and if so, how much would a plant probably go for? I’d probably grow it out to about 1-2in. before considering anything.

Lots of factors to consider.
First, I'm finding that a plant the size of yours has a wide range of pricing. I'm finding from $60 to $130, with the $60 ones sold out. The higher priced ones are hanging around, some even being discounted. But that's a price for a rooted plant, possibly even shipped potted.
For a basal, obviously those prices are high, especially if sold unrooted. If you were to let it get a little more size, and ship it the day you cut it, sold unrooted, I would think around $20 - $25 would be fair. If you take the time to root it, then I would think around the ballpark of $35.
Now, this is all conjecture, as I don't have any experience with this particular species, just thinking logically.

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that I make bad decisions.

That thing looks tiny. If you're going to cut it let both grow out and then choose which to cut, basal or main plant, a bit later. There's no rush. I would be interested if you did cut the plant at some point, though.
