Default How much is a built 700R4 worth?

Been thinking about doing a 700R4->T5 swap in my '79. I'll probably sell my 700r4 to pay for some of the swap parts.

The transmission specs:
2800 stall converter
shift kit
500 boost valve
BEAST sun shell
corvette servo
z pack clutch set
hydraulic T/C lockup

The transmission has about 10k miles on it since total rebuild. I just have no idea what it would be worth if I tried to sell it. Any opinions?

More if still working in your car. Most are reluctant to buy an unknown part. Few believe "it was working great" when removed.

You think I should put an ad up with it still in the car so they could come ride in it? I would think people would want it removed and ready to go.

Same with engines. Unless buying a block to rebuild, I want to hear the engine running. Likewise, I want to feel the transmission shift smoothly. Nothing worse than spending $$ and/or your time installing crappy parts.

Maybe others feel differently

It's a pain to buy something and have to wait for it to be removed but a transmission pulled from a car for sale is really not much more than a core unless you can warranty it or prove that it is operating properly.

Include the receipt where you had it rebuilt, and offer it up for sale for half of what the receipt says you paid for the rebuild.
