Default N Diamond Targets- What's Fair Market Value?

Before I offer these grips to a friend what do you feel fair market value is for these N diamond targets? They are a nice pair of older walnut football recess grips with black washers. No, they are not cokes but I know that they are still desirable. There is a poorly cut router line on the left panel front and a couple of small dings on the butt. Other than that I'd rate them as excellent.
Thanks for your estimates as to their worth--
Rick rfo1

I wouldn't sell them for less than $150.

I agree, $150. They look very nice and would fetch that or more on ebay.

If they were mine,you wouldn't get 'em for anything less than $175. Maybe that's just me,but most of my stuff I have left is primo stuff and if I can't get a higher than average price,I'll just keep it. Works for me.

K frame sets bring $125 regularly on eBay. I say $175-$225.

You said a friend... that may need to figure in.

I guess I'm different. Assuming the above appraisals are in the ballpark, a friend may be able to get them for $100 or so, a good friend maybe a bit less. And a real friend may just get them as a gift.

I've been on the receiving end of such friendships often enough.

I'll buy all you got in nice condition for $125. Jeremy is in the right range.

Hello Rick
Being the "Grip Connoisseur" that you are and have been, you certainly must know that a Nice set of N-Frame diamond target stocks do not come along often. The prices quoted here from the Previous responder's certainly seem out of touch with the current stock prices out there in the market price area as Lately it seems any of the much Later issued Target stocks in the N-Frame size that I have been seeing are bringing at least $100.00-$125.00 without the diamonds and are of far less checking finish quality to them being the much newer Non diamond relieved and speed loader relieved style of stocks. Given that fact, Diamond Target stocks for the -N-Frame should net a much higher Demand & premium and since yours looks so nice I would not take less than $200.00 for them, friend or not, these are hard to locate. Being that you are in Canada prices should also be a little higher for stock's than down here in the United States as well, so a price of $200.00 is certainly not out of line. I simply do not part with any nice Diamond Target stocks for the -K-Or-N-Frame whether they are the very desireable Coke profile or not, they simply are very hard to locate any more in good condition for either frame hand gun.
