Clear top question

My 06 came with both tops but I only like the painted one on the car. I'm thinking about selling the clear top but have no idea what a fair price would be.
Used very little and seems to be in very good condition.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

You've used both, but prefer the painted?

Yes, I said it. Now everyone knows and I'm not sorry.

You can run a search for this in the parts for sale section. I saw 3 recently for sale in the $800-$900 range. They were a little more on ebay. I did not see where any had sold.

i see them often on CL, all over the country. They are usually priced from a low of $350 to a "reasonable" high of about $600. I say "reasonable" because I have seen people asking $1500 for them, but the top selling price I have ever seen anywhere is around $600. I would ask $500 and see what happens. You can also check ebay "sold" prices, which shows that several have sold on ebay recently for $599, free shipping.

New GM charged $750 ON TOP of the price of the painted top. $1500 to add the clear top to the painted top. Seems like going price is around $750.

Yes, that's how I understand it, worded a bit differently: It was a $750 option, but you don't get the painted top with it.

When you are comparing prices, notice that a lot of tops are being sold without the latching mechanisms. Why I don’t know, but they are.

Prices can be all over the map, trying to sell a clear top in the summer around here... forget it! Wait for fall, ask for $500 providing there are no issues, rubber ok & all parts attached. I bought a top years ago, used Greyhound for shipping... not a problem.
