Default used vert top value?

i'm putting a new top on my vert, and just curious if the old one holds any value? the main defects are the seams around the door windows have seperated and become frayed and there is a very tiny hole towards the bottom on the passenger rear. the rear window is in good shape and the defrost works. in other words, with the stitching repaired it would at least be a useable top for someone to keep the weather out, but it won't win any car shows.

so, is there any value to it or should i just pass it along for my dad to hack up and make a cabrella style parking cover for his coupe? thanks!

edit: oh, and just in case there's any confusion this is just the fabric/rear window only. no frame or weatherstripping.

I don't think you'd get enough for it to even mess around trying to sell it! Just MHO!

I purchased a used top from Corvette Recyclers last month, it was (is) perfect. People typically don't swap out their vert tops for one with wear marks/holes. Put it on the Parts board and see what happens.
