Need help setting a price

I'll be selling some parts from my 97 se and im not sure how much to put them up for. Heres whats going.
a) Original orange corners, clean and working condition
b) Original headlights, clean, completely working and bright, i might polish if you guys think its worth wile to help sell
c) Oem 5 spoke wheels, 2 are original paint but no tread, other 2 are stripped but 75% tread(probably more, im under estimating everything), all have center caps
d) Oem hood, will need to be repainted, it shines like new but has scratches too deep for touch up paint, its the gold color.

I honestly don't know what these things are worth so any helpful advice is welcomed. Basically im trying to cover the cost of new rims, and im doing a cf hood so i just want that stock one off and out of my house.

This is just to give you some ideas based on other FS items that's on the org:
a)orange corners going around 20-30 bucks shipped
b) not sure about headlights but I think around 100 for the pair but I could be wrong
c)OEM wheels around 150-200
d) hood- maybe in a range of 100 bucks without shipping.
This is all just to give you some ideas. Use it at your own risk. Btw,are you saying that two of the wheels have no paint on them?
p/s where r u located? I might be interested in wheels if you're local or near 21209

Im in Ny, but the wheels were supposed to be a little project of mine, i was going to repaint them. After starting to strip them i realized the paint scheme i was going for just wouldnt look right on a maxima. Front wheels were still clean so i didnt go as far as to even remove them. Im surprised i'd only get 100 for the hood, i was thinking more like 175-200, but i'll have to look into it more. Maybe if i strip and prime it i can bring up the value.

Update: I just looked on ebay at the price of 5 spoke maxima wheels, they sell for 115-125 A PIECE!! Wow. Looks like my old rims can go for 200-250 for the set if i really wanna get them out the door. The hood surprises me, it only goes for like 125 before shipping. Headlights seem to be 80-90 a piece so i can settle for 150 for the set, and now i just remember i have two rear calipers to rebuild and sell. Ooohh, let the modding start again(oovi??)

I sold both my headlights for like 100 bucks, and they were perfect. PERFECT.
The rims your best bet is going to be like around 200 shipped because they are unfinished.

Go by whats fair. Do you really wanna profit that much? If so, take it to Ebay. Otherwise, even if its a little low, you'll be helping a fellow orger out. I hate when people really try to get the maximum top dollar. Sure, everybody like a little extra cash but jeezz...this site should have special bargains when you buy or sell ****...we're like a disfunctional family here. Lets help each other out. Otherwise, take it to Craigs or Ebay. =]

I might just sell the 2 nice rims on ebay, unless anyone here wants them. I'll have to repaint the other 2 to be worthwhile to sell. Im not trying to get top dollar and honestly i'd rather help out a fellow orger. Once all my paintball stuff sells on ebay im going to buy the rims and then i can post up the old ones here on the FS area.
