I got $500 for a voluntary bump a few days before Christmas 2007. So, it all depends on how badly they need volunteers -- i.e., how many seats they need to free up.
Btw, my understanding is that they have to give the same amount to all bumped pax on the same flight, so you should always be sure to ask if a higher value was given out to someone else when they are preparing your voucher.
