TR6 Ballpark cost - TR6 trailing arms?

Kind of an off the wall question- I'm considering buying a pair of trailing arms for my TR6 to rework with better studs and ultimately install Richard Good hubs. Ebay has them, prices seem all over maybe $70-$150 each? So my off the wall question - what price would you consider decent, assuming you are 1) thrifty, and 2) not in a big hurry, and 3) maybe able to get a local club guy to sell you a pair? I have a set in mind with a guy in my local club who no longer has a car and is selling off spares. He's looking at ebay just like I am. I'm just not sure if the part is rare or not and ebay is too flakey for me right now. I have a set on my car that I expect are rebuildable, but would prefer to work on them before I take the car apart to keep it on the road as much as possible.

Thanks!
 
I have the Goodparts hubs on my 6 and they are worth every penny. I was able to re-tap all the studs to the next size up while the trailing arms were on the car.
 
Elliot- that's what I'm planning except I'd like to have parts prepped before swapping them out. It is a luxury to have spare parts like that but as my car is a little early as a 1970 I was worried the casting in the arms might be a little thin for the larger studs. I wouldnt mind buying some arms then selling mine off to get even I just need to get a fair price down and eBay is about the only reference out there. It's not critical so I may just use what I have.
 
Thanks Marv- I already have a set lined up locally but wasn't sure about current pricing- you've helped!
