Edelbrock 3860 hi-flo intake
Ive been cleaning out my storage area and found a intake of mine from when I had a C4. Its a edelbrock 3860 with matching runners. How sought after are these intakes?
This ones in great shape. Whats a fair price to ask for these these days?

Seems like you should know what the new prices are. (Last time I looked, wasn't it around $425ish for the base and $350ish for the runners?) The bases are more valuable than the runners. People who pick the runners do so more for the looks than anything IMO. But, both are nice pieces.
Because intake pieces have no moving parts, they used to retain lots of their value. 2yrs ago, you probably could have gotten at least 80% of their selling price. In today's market, you'll probably have to take less.
Just start high and lower the price until someone bites. That's the best way to find out. With really nice pieces, I'd think you should be able to get over half their new value though.
The best times to get highest price are probably spring and fall. Either catch people ready to modify for the warm season or when they're ready to put it away for the winter. Not sure how many want to do work in the heat of the summer or cold of the winter.
Don't forget TGO as an option.
