I think since they are off the car they should be fairly easy to clean, where the header meets the side pipe there is some rust which u can scrub down adn then repaint them black with some high heat gloss black paint, i used to do it once a month to maintain a pretty look.

A rough pair of chrome pipes (original cost ~800) just sold for about $75. The black pipes retail fro ~300, I'd say in rough condition, that $75 plus shipping would be a good deal for both parties, but you may be able to get more. :smash:

If I remember right, I posted that the black set retails NEW in the $300 range.
Used, and in "rough" condition, well I know of a pair that just sold (or is almost sold) that are chrome in rough condition and he was asking $75 without shipping added in yet.
You're not gonna get retail, but you might get something out of them. I was giving you a place to start, since you didn't have any idea for a price.

Retail is currently $379.95, courtesy of http://www.summitracing.com, also, mufflers are $129.39, but I was figuring on those being replaced, and not in the tubes.
I would be willing to pay more than the initial price I set down, but this is something that should be discussed over email and not on the board I would think.
I was just hoping to throw down the two extremes on price, the high (new) and the low (used, rough chrome that were just sold by someone else).
Please email me, and we can discuss what you and I both think is a fair price, and if it doesn't work out, then someone else can have a go. If you're looking for best offer, I would suggest an auction instead.
If I sound harsh or anything, I apologize...I was trying to offer some perspective since no one had listed prices, not insult anyone with a really-low-get-myself-a-steal-and-screw-someone price.

IMPORTANT:
C3Vettesrock and I have been discussing this for an hour, which I felt was a good idea since I was the "first" interested...
He is new to the car scene, and the Vette scene, and wants to do the right thing, which I gave him guidance on. I'll just say, at 22, I wish I had his dream to own a Vette when I was his age. He owns one now, and is working hard to pay for it and to make it nice and "his own." The sidepipe sales are helping to offset the cost of his ZZ4 motor, and he will be posting pictures of them ASAP.
Once he has pictures, I have suggested that he has some choices:
1) Sell to the first guy if price is right, continue in order of replies until finds a sale.
2) Open auction on Ebay.
3) Private (Silent) Auction over email. Everyone submits one bid within a certain time frame and the winner is the best offer.
I'll tell you what I told him: Personally, I'd like it if he sold them to me as I was "first" ... but I feel that wouldn't be the right thing to do.
So, my point is this...we've had a little bit of misunderstanding due to inexperience...and due to my lookup on Summit being too low (because they don't sell the 4" tubes with the headers...or the mufflers). I would asses a new kit (headers, tubes, and mufflers) at $650 - $750.
I say we get the pictures and see what they look like. At this point, I'm going to bow out of trying to purchase them...it just feels unfair if I'm not impartial in the whole thing. Whomever winds up buying them in whatever manner, you'd better enjoy them as much as I would have. :D

Then again, there may be additional members with an interest in the headers simply monitoring this post waiting for the pics. If the pics are good your interest base may double!
