Hard Top Price Guestimate

Looking for a fair price range for a hard top that came on a 78 Midget. Picture not available. Manufactured by Custom Hardtops of Long Beach CA. Google shows they are now called Snugtop Custom Fiberglass Mfg. Defineately same company as address and phone number on data plate are same. I don' believe this is the same company that manufactures the Snugtop pickup truck/camper shells. Just called (Saturday afternoon) for info but they are closed. They probably weren't expecting my call.

Black vinyl no rips or tears. Back glass and rubber seal good. Has a sun roof that opens and appears to not leak. Aluminum molding/trim around all edges good but needs polishing. Inside white surface needs polish but no damage. Rubber molding at windshield seal, window seal, and back deck seal poor.
I have no real need for it (price goes down). Prospective buyer is new MG owner. He just bought a 70 midget w/ shredded top (price goes up). Seems like I've seen hardtops for sale in the $250 to $500 range. Am I in the ball park? Meeting him tomorrow. I would guess this one is average/mid-range as far as condition/quality. If seals are still available from Snugtop, this one would be quite good. Thanks for any input.

I would say your guestimate is about right if seals are available.

Kurt.
