$50-60.00 Shipped not including the turob control/Pre control connected solenoids as they usually bring around $30-40.00 on their own.

I get $30 NZD for each solanoid, the turbo precontrol I get about $120.

Its spelled SOLENOID. They are not worth much at all because there are tons floating around on the market and more sitting collecting dust in garages.

Due to all the v8 swaps and single turbo installs, these things are not worth all that much anymore. I remember when you could sell an entire rat's nest for ~$150.

A lot depends on the mileage, and how badly they've been affected by heat over the years.

I agree with Rich. I pick up a full rack worth now and then but only if they have really low mileage (<40k) and no more than $60.

I still have to test them all and end up pitching about half of them.

I sold them for $20 to $40 for a complete set. Problem is they are brittle like the man said above.

They are worth whatever you can get....in the end. As many others have pointed out, there is a lot to consider when determining value. To the guy across town that just snapped the hose connector off while trying to do a hose job and really wants to get his car going...he'll probably pay much more than others.

And it is so true, these things are usually already not-working or are so brittle they require kid-gloves when handling and you STILL break them.

Put 'em up for sale "as is", ask for $75 or best offer and then see what people say....is one option.
