Nikki Carb worth?

I have two Nikki carburetors that I ran on my PRO 7 race car. I have them converted to manual secondary's and they come with a box of jets and a stand to work on them. I am new to the Mazda's have worked on Winston West racers and sprinter cars (all piston) cars for the last 40 plus years. I have owned my PRO 7 car for three years but only ran the car one weekend in 2011 and one weekend 2012 am just now getting into the car and learning the Rotary engines this year (2014). I want to sell the Nikki carbs what would a fair price be on these?

Have the venturis, throttle shafts, or accelerator pumps been modified?

Not sure the carbs were run on my PRO 7 and came with the car. I changed the secondary's over to mechanical. I also welded up all the vacuum ports and impressions on the intake and reshaped the runners and removed the butterfly. In the paper work I got with the car there is info on Nikki racing carbs The title is Super Street Nikki Carburetor.

A super street is a yaw modified carb. So you probably have a couple of Paul Yaw modified Nikki
carbs.

Id give you $100 for one depending on condition/ modification level. I think Sterlings/Yaws are worth anywhere between $75-150. It really depends on what you have as every one is different.

You can probably ask $200.00 for each but be willing to negotiate it down. A good friends and
family price would be $100.00 or so.
