Default T-Top Value Question

I haver a set of very nice Chacoal tinted T-Tops that I dont use any more. I am considering selling the set but not sure about how I would ship them and what their value would be. I am thinking it would have to be made a local pickup only. They fit my 74 so I am guessing they would fit 70-77? would this be correct? Do they still make any of these? They have been stored in the soft cases for probably 4 years.
Thanks
Rodney

Ship them using greyhound express. You can put them in a box or wrap them like crazy with bubble wrap and drop them off. A lot cheaper than any other service. However, they ship from port to port, so they won't drop them off at your address. But they will usually cost about $60 cheaper to ship than using fedex or UPS. At least that has been my experience with larger items, ttops are much smaller than say bumpers or hoods.

Price....depends on condition. But a few hundred dollars would be expected.

Did they change the ttops before changing the model in 1980?

Those are Moonroof aftermarket tops and will fit 68-77. They look like they are in very good shape. I do not know what they might be worth.

My transmission was shipped greyhound and when I got it the box looked like it went through an Apocalypse. Good thing it was packed really well. I wouldn't trust them with anything that's glass.

Those are nice moonroofs, I'd list them locally on craigslist and they should sell fast

They can be bubble wrapped and boxed up and shipped UPS or Fed Ex. With insurance around $60-70 each box. Nice looking moon roofs.

Anyone have an idea of the value of these tops? I also have the storage bags for these.
Thanks

Rodney,
I don't know what the value is but may be interested when you do establish a price. Where are you located?
Thanks,
Carl
