Default C3 NOS front valance panel value

Been going thru my leftover parts with plans to list some for sale before Carlisle, and I have a NOS gm front valance panel for a 68-72 that I have no idea what a reasonable asking price is. It is in perfect condition, but is later production grey fiberglass. I see repops for sale but no NOS ones to compare it to. What do you guys think it would be worth?

A pic would really help. When you say "later production gray" are you meaning an SMC panel?

I'll take a stab at it.
Looking at repro panels, they appear to be hand-laid, so a lesser quality than the press-molded panel you have. They go for ~$200-$300. Since yours is GM NOS, I'd say it's worth 3x that, so $600-$900. If I was needing it to do a proper repair, I think it would be worth that to me.

Make me a reasonable offer, I don't have a need for it.
