How much are early Ghia bumper parts worth?

Hi all,
I have a couple of early rear bumper corners from a Ghia, they have the towelrails on them aswell as the overiders and bumper irons.
They are not perfect but good enough to put on a car and use.
What are they worth?

you know, its funny, you need a part and its either impossible to find or its worth alot of money .
try too sell the same part some time later and its worthless and everyone you know has three of them in better shape then yours.
your ghia bumper ends should be worth 25.00 ea. more if you sold the pieces separately. but thats alot of work and you end up with "leftovers" no one wants.

Mike,about a year ago I called Karmannghia parts & resto.They quoted me $800.00 for a rechromed set of early ghia bumpers.I`m sure they were show quality.I just sold a front and rear off a 69`,complete w/brackets.On a scale of 1 to 10 these were a good 6 1/2 ,I sold them for 320.00 that included shipping.I thought that was fair.And they previous post was right,when you need it you find yourself paying a fortune,then you can`t even give it away when the time comes.(I`m sure you knew that)

the same list i have posted elsewere in this forum i sent to "karmann ghia parts and restoration" in moorpark,ca. looking at thier web site, they advertise that they buy used k.g.parts and want a list of parts anyone may have for sale, well i faxed a list to them and got confirmation that they received it, but they never called me back. they make a big deal that they want your parts then ignore you.
oh well
if you would like to contact them , http://www.karmannghia.com/ghias4sale/main.htm
good luck
