If you just bought them you should know their worth or you may have over paid. Please don't concider this a slap as it's not ment to be. What do you really want to know? Do you think you got them at a low price and can make money selling them at e-bay prices? You physically have the pieces and part numbers and you have descriptions. You can find them in the '68 Camaro Assembly Installation Manual (AIM)

Basically I know I paid alot less for them then what I can get out of them. I know a price on something depends on how much somebody is willing to pay for them. I bought this stuff less then what the reproduction parts cost new and these are mint NOS pieces. My question is: Where can I go to find out how much these parts are actually worth? Is there a website with parts NOS parts listed and the going reate for them.

If you have the patience, you can watch ebay for similar pieces (You may have to watch awhile) That will at least tell you what one person is willing to pay.

You can also start calling some of the parts distributors like Ground Up, Year One, NPD etc. Many sell NOS and NORS when they get ahold of it. Some of the smaller local places that have a walk up counter sell NOS and NORS too. Basically I would call any place you would call if you are looking for NOS for a project. Check through our ads as well www.camaros.net/ads (http://www.camaros.net/ads) and the "wanteds" www.camaros.net/ads/wanted (http://www.camaros.net/ads/wanted)

I don't know if aynone can tell what they are worth, demand comes and goes. Buying NOS parts to resell is a gamble.

When you try to sell them, buyers are going to want a good deal and will shop around. There are some who want NOS and there are some that won't pay for NOS. There are lots of parts for these cars out there, lots of used etc.

If it were me, I would sell on ebay. Set a reserve or opening bid at or near what you paid and roll the dice. Maybe you will make a bundle or at least not lose.

The wheel opening mouldings were a wise buy as the GM parts arer pretty much no longer available. I agree that E-Bay is the place to detrmine going prices for parts like these.

I've got $400 dollars in this investment and I know the reproductions of all these pieces allready cost more then what I paid for the parts and mine are NOS with boxes. I have access to three more sets of wheel well moldings if I want them. Thanks for your help guys. I was just hoping that somewhere there was website with parts listing and there value of NOS stuff.
