68-69 Chrome wheel well moldings

Good morning all.
I wasn't quite sure where to post this question.
I have a very nice set of four moldings I got with
a bunch of parts I purchased. They just have a little
burnt rubber and tar that need to be cleaned off.
No dings, scrapes. really nice.
What do you think these might be worth?
I am thinking pm with best offers? I probably
need to post some pics so you all can see how nice
they really are. Anyway, thanks for any thoughts, Adam.

Bare minimum $400 if they are in as good shape as you say. Harder and harder to come by, and no repops, I don't believe. Gave $400 15 years ago for Big Red's top of the rear fender small chrome strip from back of door to above the tail lights that were in excellent shape.

In this market / economy, you may have trouble getting that price. JMO

Here's a recently sold set that went for $175. Scratched & dented (that's not what the listing says but the pics don't lie). You may have to log in to e-bay to see it

Here's a single passenger side that sold for $275.

I've got a complete spare set of 68-69 convertible peak moulding (6 pcs, fender to trunk) that's probably earning a better ROI than any stock fund right now . 68-69 stuff is pretty hard to come by but they're repro-ing more and more. The repro 68 cut-out bumpers probably dropped the value of the original spare one I have by 25%

Sold. Thanks everyone.
I am going to thin my hoard of stuff to
try and get my project finished.
I have some stuff on Austin TX CL
for anyone interested. It is just a small
offering of the stuff I have. Just pm me
for anything you may need, I may have it.
Some of the stuff I wouldn't know how to
ship, sheetmetal for one.
If the mods want to move this post to the
parts for sale, I would understand. Thanks
everyone, Adam.
