I guess it depends on what you can get from it. In good clean shape, maybe $40ish? Corroded, maybe $20? Cleaning them without a bead blaster is a royal pain. I only paid $40 for a new Mancini PC'ed cover. (Which is beginning to corrode under the powder coat. :cussing: )

FWIW, you can get a cast 1st gen cover for $30 to $40, and have a little better PCV outlet. So there is also that working against you/the seller.
