They are worth right about what you paid.

Yeah that seems to be about the going rate for these heads right now. I can't see someone paying that much more for them.

used 243's go for 350-400 all day long so you got a pretty good deal since you don't have to spend any money getting them cleaned up or anything

New LS6 heads go for a lot more than $600:

Yep but at that price you could have a set of Cnc ported heads with dual spring and titanium retainers. I wouldent pay near that

True...

but the point is that the OP's heads were under-valued (or the other posters did not see that the OP said they were brand new).

That's about half what a set would cost, I purchased the same heads new in the box for $550 (Craig's list). That summit price is for a different set of heads (250cc runners)....stock is 210.
