Default LS6 head question

I recently came across a set of LS6 heads for sale online. The guy wants $150 for the pair. It has blue valve springs on it so I'm assuming they came off of a 2001 Z06. Correct me if I am wrong. I was wondering what these heads are worth, because 150 bucks seems like a steal to me. I don't really plan on putting them on my car as I'm saving for AFRs, but if I can make a few bucks off these, then I'll go ahead and buy them. Thoughts/opinions?

Good deal as long as they are issue free. New springs are a must if you're buying used heads anyways.

If they are 243 heads, and have no problems, I'll give you $300 for them right now!

If you have no intent on putting them on your car, and you're just going to buy them then I say buy them.

If you were going to put them on your car, I'd be cautious because the price is cheap for 243's and I'd be worried that there might be an issue with them.

the valve speings in my 01'Z were green. if you get them just install the LS6/LS2 springs, they are yellow and cheep.
