Default Removeable Top questions *look*

Hey guys just a quick question. I have the glass top and the red painted top for my 86L and i was going to sell the painted one since i never use it. It is in good shape and has a nice leather case it goes in. What do you think a fair asking price is? I have a guy offering $200. I think i could get more than that. Also what year C4's will my top fit? thanks alot guys

Sounds a little low. I just bought a dark red metalic fiberglass top for my 93. It was never installed on a car. I paid $250 for the top and another $250 to get it painted. I like it so much more than the clear top that I may sell the clear.

It's around $696.00 for a new one.
I would say if the inner material is good about $350.00.
Also it is supply and demand.
How long do you want to hold on to it?
