Default 243 Heads off LS6 worth...?

I've got a set of 243s that I bought and no longer want and was wondering what they're worth. They came off a Z06 (which if I've read correctly means they have the sodium filled valves) and had around 22k miles on them when they were taken off the Z. Don't ask me what I paid for them, I'm pretty sure I overpaid. Given that they're clean and fully functional, what are they worth?

I'm gonna put them on Craigslist for sure. The guys on here usually know what **** is worth so I'd end up making less. I was thinking about asking for $450 on CL cause I figure they'll try to talk me down but I didn't know if $450 seemed like too much to ask. The LS6 243s did have sodium filled valves, correct?

I've sold regular 243s for $450. I've seen LS6 243s sell for $550.

Alright. Thanks guys. I'll probably put them on CL for $500 and hope for the best.
