Default What is a good price?

What is a fair price for a complete set of used Patriot Gold Dual springs with about 4K-5K miles on them?

My new heads come with the Comp 921's, and I have someone interested in the springs that will be coming off of my stock set.

I just want to be fair.

Thanks.

Used valvesprings are like used brides...the new guy never knows the stress they have been through in their last relationship or how it affected them. Finding out later can be costly.

I would never advise buying used (relatively inexpensive) valvesprings nor would I sell them. I wouldn't even give them away because they could cause problems for the unwary customer. Valvesprings are no place to cut corners no matter how inexpensive your build.

If they were nitrided PAC beehives and I knew their history (as you do on these) I might reconsider. They are some tought broads....err springs. They are also considerably more expensive than PG's.

My $.02

Hey bones, where did you find my real picture for your avatar? I used it for quite a while until my vanity got the best of me and I changed to my current "BR" avatar headshot.
