How well does this work?
Depends on where you put it, what radios you use, your antenna... etc.
It can work great or it can horribly fail, don't expect the same range as VHF though.

What the averag cost of a repeater?
What radios are you going to use? Where will it be housed, you may have to lease space on a mountain top which will be additional.

Figure about $50-150 for the units depending on where you pick them up and what you choose to use.

Can a pager set up be used on the repeater?
Sure, just find some pagers that will go to your frequency and an encoder.

Whats the max out put power on a repeater?
Really depends on what your want to do and your budget. I've seen a few people using ex-PURC transmitters which IIRC do between 150-250 watts.
I'm sure others will be able to help more.
