Default C5r Heads, What Are They Worth?

Please Pm me for any price info, I do not want this to turn into a sale thread. I am looking at possibly taking a set of C5-R heads on a partial trade for my engine. They flow 382@.700 and have titanium valves and Jesel shaft rockers.
I do not know much about c5r heads yet. What are these worth in trade value and resale value? Are they saleable? I do not really want high end parts anymore (hense selling my motor), so I would probably sell them If I were to trade. I am new to the LS1 scene and am not real familiar with the worth of these parts yet. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

c5r heads awesome but have a limited market because they are expensive and not a simple bolt-up the way ported LS1 heads would be. If you can't use them, I would not take them in trade.

They do indeed cater to a smaller market of people than a traditional LS1-6 head would. These heads symbolize the very best available for the LS type engines, but if you aren't going to use them yourself I wouldn't take them on trade. Especially if you say you aren't looking for high end parts anymore, everything about these heads is high end.

They even need a special intake I think.

You need a custom intake, and they only work on a big bore motor.

But they are VERY, VERY cool.
