Default How much are a set of TINS worth ?

I have a set of tins... the gas tank, front fender, and rear fender of a 2000 Fatboy the paint looks near perfect. . one little nick on the tank..

What are they worth ?

No more than someone will pay for them is the standard rule.

What are they worth ?
I purchased a similar set (from a 03' FATBOY) last year for $125.00 with a dent in the tank.
I stripped the paint, repaired the fender dings and tank dent, primed and sealed.
Now ready for the 'do-it-youself' custom paint job...

Thanks, that sounds like a good deal. .

I was looking on ebay but couldn't find any ..

I paid $30, and thought I was stealing them from him, really nice guy..

I plan on keeping them, and sending them out for custom pain, I found a place on ebay that seems to look legit.. they want $525 plus shipping, for whatever you want with reasonable airbrushing, 6 coats of clear coat, underside sealed or something . ..
