whats trim worth?

I got some good straight aluminum trim that runs down the body line that pulled off a truck just wondering what it might be worth or if it is even worth anything? Thanks!

I was looking at two sets from different folks and the going rate is around $100.

For full racetrack sets in really good condition with minimal oxidation, I've seen them in the $300 range. If it's in 30+ year old condition and cloudy...maybe $100.

Does it have the trim without the rubber in the center and is in the dent?

I sold a complete set of thin aluminum dent trim in excellent conditon w/ the clips for $200. Not sure what it's worth, but the catalogs list the set with the rubber insert for well over $600 new.

I got 2 sets of bed mouldings for free just by asking for them. And I've bought trucks that had complete sets for less than $200. And that included a free truck.

I have the upper race track in the dent. It cleans up really good with a little polish and scrubbing.

For the record...the polish won't do anything. The scrubbing probably did the majority of the work and got rid of whatever crud and dirt was on the trim. The trim is anodized, so you'd have to strip it and then polish before you get rid of the haze/cloudiness.
