Default Original 30/30 cam value?

I pulled the solid cam on my 327 and opted for a hydraulic. I wanted to see opinions on what it might be worth? It looks in real good shape, no cracks, dings or worn places. I also have a new set of mechanical lifters to go with it. I've verified the part number as a 30/30.....came out of a 64 327.

To me, a used camshaft isn't worth the shipping costs.

To me, it's not even worth that much.

Unless the lifters that were used with the cam were not matched to the cam I wouldn't touch it for even $1

Nail it to a plaque and hang it in your garage.
