Wiper arms, dashboard and the sequoia rear seat cushions (only the fabric)
An individual is interested in these parts, but he and I don't know what a fair value would be. Can anyone give us an idea of what a fair price would be for them ??? Shipping would be separate.
Pictures of these items can be seen here:

G'day,
When we attend rallies in the USA I bring these kinds of parts and put a label on the table that reads:
"The price of these items is whatever YOU think they're worth, if you don't think they're worth anything but can use them just take
them, at least that way they won't clutter up my garage any more! :-)
Regards,

So far, I've had a handful of stuff given me for shipping, and share anything I don't need on the same basis.

Hey, nothing wrong with a guy trying to recoup some of his investment. Just work out a deal that suits both of you. There is no book price on parts like these. It just has to be low enough that the buyer thinks it's worth it and high enough for the seller to go to the trouble of advertizing, boxing the parts up, and shipping them. Not all of us are retired or can afford to be philanthropists.

As other have said, there is only a few items worth more than a buck or two or pay for shipping. The dash could go for $20 to $40, if the wiper arms were cleaned up and painted maybe $10 for the pair. The cabinet for local pickup maybe $10 to $15 each as they are not the nice wood doors of the later coaches. The rubber end cap for cabinet look in fairly good condition and could fetch $5 to $10 each. The water pump maybe for parts for someone who still run that style type 1 pump. Most have converted to the type 2 pump such at a 2088 or the new 4008 pump. The rear seat back, the metal is worth more for scrap than the items themselves. Maybe some of the coach owners will work a deal for some of the stuff.

I see no problem in selling parts. Some folks need to make a little money to feed their habit. There is no price list. As others have said, just work it out. Ask what you think they are worth, see if the buyer accepts or counter offers, and go from there.
The other way (and in my opinion the fairest way) is to use Ebay. You list the part for the least you'll take for it, and the market determines what it actually sells for.
I'm trying, not totally successfully, to run my GMC as a zero sum venture. Which means I'm attempting to use the money from selling parts I don't need to purchase the ones I do.

Good luck with that.
