how to determine prices
I've inherited a large box of C2 parts leftover from the restoration of our '67. I'd like to start selling off unused parts but I don't know how to determine prices for stuff. How do you guys determine the value of parts?

Go to ebay an search with year and part, then filter results by checking off SOLD listings. That'll given you a decent starting point for recent market demand, but you can raise or lower your asking depending on condition, and whether rare, NOS, or used GM OEM vs reproduction.
Certain rare waterpumps, fuel filters, SPH Holley carbs, SPH aluminum intake manifolds, SPH heads, GM sidepipes sell for a lot of money. Depends.
Of course a good deal on one part, or put much of the small parts in a lot with a great price works to move stuff that doesn't sell by themselves.
Good luck.

I've sold a lot of stuff in the past few years. Mainly C1 and C2.
The market is very very small and it's hard for people to find your parts on eBay. There are just too many listings. eBay does though give you a starting point.
I list most of my items here. I've sold a lot more on this forum than on eBay. I start with a price and then lower it once a week until it sells. Keep in mind there are some really cheap people on this forum.
You also need to have really good pictures of the parts. Especially if the parts have numbers.
