The OP's question was "What are they going for", not, "how do you like your hardtop?. What do you think of a hardtop on a C2?. Here is a picture of my hardtop, etc., etc. 
Back on topic.
It looks like the value is between $300 and $5000. It's the same kind of informative answer that we get when asking about the price of a car, but we don't have to bash the 64's.

It has now morphed into what it is just like every other thread on this site, nothing new about this.

Sounds to me like a response from a grumpy old man that paid too much for his '63 coupe!
How much will you pay for this improvement in looks? Better than a coupe, better than the top off in hot or cold weather.
My top hasn't been off for at least 4 years after having been hanging on the wall for 8 years or so.
Why would you pay for a coupe when you could get this look?

I've still got the white one from my 66. I'd sell it for 2500 CDN$ or about 1900 USD$. Great shape, but with a diamond tufted headliner.

I agree with those who like the look of the hardtop . They were a winter necessity when we lived in the Midwest .
I still put it on in Dec even though the weather is pretty nice here in SoCal

I got a kicking deal on my 61 hardtop in 2014 and it does look good on the car, but as far as practicality it was a PITA - especially in the deep South....in all that time I had it on the car maybe 4-5 times and it was just another awkward thing I had to maneuver around in the garage.
They are actually pretty fragile and the rubber weatherstrip and plexiglass is easily boogered up so storage is an issue. I wasn't heartbroken to see it go to the new owner of my '61...
Still I'm a bit perplexed with the low prices being bandied about here for C2 versions...either the demand is low, the supply is high or some folks just have it wrong...
I now have a permanent hardtop with Vintage Air so its all good..yup - one of those ugly split window coupes I paid too much for

OP, I think $1500 is a good price for a top in good shape. Any missing or damaged parts may be costly, though.
