91-92 GTA Tail Lights, How Much Are They Worth?

I have a set of 91-92 GTA tail lights I've been planning to swap for my 89's, but I am honestly thinking just to sell them.
I would like to know how much they are worth before posting them at ebay. The tail lights are in very good shape with no cracks nor scratches. They are the ones that have the amber corners and they do have two spots where apparently suffered from sun fading, but easily repairable because the spots are located in the black portions of the lenses. The PONTIAC lettering is also worn.
I will post pics later today.
Thanks!

Delamination, as well as scratches (not that you have scratches) are easy to fix, even if the delamination was in the center, very easy. I'm surprised nobody else figured out how to fix delamination yet. Scratches are easily sanded out, it's the cracks that are pain in the rear to fix, but doable. That said, Ed, don't take less than two hundred each for them the way they are, at a minimum, so four hundred for the pair as is, no less. If you correct the delamination, wet sand them down and polish them, you should get well over five hundred for the pair, perhaps more as they are getting hard to find. I'm debating if I should just remove the tint from my current set that the former owner put on, and just polish them. I only have one upper red reflector, so I took off the other one to make them match for the time being until I came across the one I need...

But, but... what about those companies that charge an arm and a leg to do it for you, or those companies that buy delaminated ones for cheap, correct them, and then sell them for way more than they bought them for? I'm afraid that if I tell ya this highly classified information, then I just might have to kill ya lol. j/k

I'm going to make a video for everyone and will have it up shortly, I promise...

With the delaminating your lights have, they should bring in the 300 range shipped. I had a set in the exact same shape and got nothing but people complaining when I had them at 325 shipped.

Hey, Street Lethal - did you do a video yet ? If not, could you please just explain how to fix this delamination, as i have some major delam on both tail lights. I know the clear part of lens can be masked with a template/vinyl stickers, and just spray paint over the grid pattern, but just wondering what your fix is....
