I guesstimate those to be worth 2000-2500k or so.  So the baselines I've just started working from is basically:  feat for 5000gp (probably limited to 5x per day);  'weak' feat for 2500gp (continuous passive use).  However, I only just started doing this and have no idea how the resulting items rate against others of the same value, or how they mess with game balance.</s>[edit] The more I think about it, the more I think I'll stick with the  simple 5000 gp number for all feats, then nudge it up or down for more  or less powerful ones.</blockquote>
