i have several sets of bare heads for a pan with rocker arms...had them on a shelf for over 25 years....whats the going rate for a set these days...i seen a guy on ebay selling a single head for $499.00...seems kinda high...but i havent been wheelin & dealin in a while...what are they usually selling for...............thanks

depending on what year, what shape they are in. 50.00 to 300.00 i think is a fair price. i have a 59 pan with a 1948 front head and a 1950 rear head. i seen a set for a 59 pan on ebay last year, both heads rebuilt with rocker arms, they wanted 1300.00 for them. you can get a newset of STD heads for that. put em on Ebay.

Basically, they are worth what someone is willing to pay for them. Lots of heads are selling on flea-bay for outrageous prices but that does not mean they are worth the price; it just means someone is willing to pay for them at that price.

Fortunately, there are places like HeadHog that will refurbish old pan heads. He did my 49 heads and they are better than new. Was a time when old worn-out heads were nothing better than doorstops, I'll betI junked at least 3 sets cuz I was told they were useless.

Good luck on your sale...
