NOS GS door edge guards value question.
« on: April 12, 2014, 12:03:51 AM »
I have a pair of NOS door edge guards that I'm considering selling to a V8 member who asked about them. I doubt they'll get used on either of my cars. Problem is I cannot remember what I paid for them about 8 or 9 years ago, nor do I have any idea of what they're worth.

Any ideas from the learned members??  :dontknow:  :dontknow:

Thanks in advance.

After seeing that used hood emblem go for over 4 bills .Id be afraid to say .I think I decided to keep mine just in case i chip the door.I don't want to put them on now due to how easy the paint chips.But i was thinking mine in ave condition was worth 200 .They are very hard to find and definitely harder to find than a hood emblem.I was kind of afraid to put a price on the in fear of them thinking i was ripping them off and if I sell them try to replace them .I have always tried to be fair on my pricing to members .I sold a Skylark fender for 75 bucks and saw one going for 450 on ebay

Did it actually sell for $ 450?

I've found that you can ask what ever you want, but the market will determine its value.

Thanks for the input.  :cheers2: I could have used ebay for a market value, but I hadn't planned on selling these items.

Anyhow, I have made a deal with the person who was looking for a set, perhaps for less than market value. That's OK with me, as they will now be used instead of gathering dust in my basement.

Just for giggles, I did check them on my yellow car. However there was no WOW factor, so I won't miss them.
