"does anyone know how to get a argus to calm down while holding"

sure, don't buy an Argus. it is NOT that kind of monitor.

as for worth, an Argus baby from a reputable breeder, healthy, without scars and poor history, is worth $100-$200. a scarred animal from a private keeper with little experience is worth whatever you can possibly get for it, which will probably be very little.

if you want a "holding" monitor, you have the wrong animal. your local reptile store MAY take him off your hands for free, maybe.
