Default original t-tops value

I have a set of t-tops that came with my 74 vette when I bought it. The glass itself (which is the blue tint) is in outstanding shape since they have only been on the vette a handfull of times and have always been kept in their covers. The weatherstripping though needs to be replaced due to age. My question is, I am looking to sell them and am looking for some insight on what others would pay for them. I know they can fetch a pretty penny in top shape, but I want feed back on what others have paid or would pay in the real world. The code on them is M1131.

Not to be an a$$hole but they aint original to a '74. But people have been retrofitting them for a long time. Anywhere from $400 to $600 shouldnt be hard to get for 'em. Good Luck,,,Peace, Moosie

If you need to sell them for the money, you should probably sell the vette along with them. I can't imagine 'giving' something like that away for a measly $500 if I've got a perfectly good Corvette to put them on.

I can't imagine 'keeping' something like that to take up measly space on a shelf if I am not going to use them
