What's a fair price for '59s?

What's a fair price for a pair of black, open 59s in good shape?

I'm thinking about buying a guitar with them in it, but I don't need the pickups.

I'm wondering how much I can recoup on the price of the guitar to make it worth me buying it.

I guess it kind of depends, on how much lead is left on them, how good "good is & how long you are willing to wait to sell them. $70-$80 if you want to dump them quick & $90-$120 to the right guy @ the right time would be my best guess.They are black witch is kind of a mixed blessing. It's good cuz black goes with everything, it's bad because it's the most common of the Duncan colors & you'll have a lot of competition? If they were white Id knock off $10-$15 & if they were Zebra I'd probably add a few bucks.

I'm getting rid of a pair and just pricing on eBay, it looks like 2Many's numbers are right. I'm considering just doing a magnet swap on the neck one to use on something else since they're not worth much

55 each or 1bill for the pair.
