resonable pricing for ported housings?

I Have a small ARMY's worth of 12a and 13b housings and just got in touch with a guy here locally that ONLY ports and polishes motors ( hot rods, rotaries ect) in his spare time. i work with him and he is a tool maker as a profession. Anyways he's street porting a 12a for me right now and after i see how it goes i am considering putting other ported housings ie. periferial and bridge port housings up for sale. What is a resonable price to ask?

thanks in advance.

well.. most places charge around 300 to port an engine with a rebuild.. So thats about 150 per housing if you are selling the housing and the porting then.. hmm. I dunno whatever a housing costs plus $150 but you will quickly run out of housings.. so maybe you want to charge for the cost of a new housing from mazda which I believe is about $500 so $650 ish per housing? Dunno just do some research on how much this stuff would cost you and how much you want to make add the numbers up and there ya go.

I can get a ported 12a housing locally for about $100-110. I've also had someone offer me 2 13b pp housings in really good condition for $500, which i thought wa a pretty good deal.
