Value of a Seized Engine

Hey guys since my turbo swap im stuck with my old seized 86 NA engine(250,000km). A guy phoned me and he might want to buy it. What would you think a good price for it would be, I may be including radiator, oil cooler, fan and a couple other insegnificant extras. Does any roterhead know a price with and without accessories. BTW when it seized it was a cold start(just starting it in the morning) it turned over twice and just froze.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! (please quote if it is in American or Canadian $$)

well my friend bought an old s4 motor with all the accessories and even a transmission for 200 but that was like an insane deal. i'd say thats probably a reasonable price for a seized s4 with a few extras but not all the accessories

I'd say it's probably not worth a whole lot.

$100-$200 sounds reasonable.

I sold my last one w/ everything under the hood, tranny, etc. for $175. But the guy also towed my thrashed car for me ($??) and disposed of the shell (probably cost $50 to get rid of). My engine was running strong though everything was old.

its hard to put a price on something without knowing condition, it could be completely trashed inside but chances are a few things are usable, general price range is $100-200.
