Custom FD sub box question

Hey guys, I'm getting rid of a custom sub box for my FD. I have no idea what the asking price on this sucker should be and can't post in the for sale section with "what is this worth" so thought I'd see what you guys thought. (left it out of the audio area because it gets too little traffic and I thought this was a 3rd gen specific question).

It's made out of fiberglass with wood on the outlying parts, wrapped in leather with the back/bottom also covered in carpet, the interior spacing has actually been calculated correctly when it was built. Sounds awesome.





This pic is a different box with the exact same dimensions but shows how it fits in.



Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I've never sold a custom box here at the store for less than $100. I don't know how much call there is for a FD box being that we are usually trying to get rid of weight. If i gave a quote to someone it would be $125-200 depending on the fitment, quality of build, and sound. By the way i own a radioshack so my prices may be a little on the low side, as stereo equip. is not our main focus.

I'd say about 70 bucks if I was still looking for a box and didn't have one made ;-). BUT, since I already got one I'd say Dream is pretty close around $135+shipping.
The BOX (square) I had made was like around $75 but it wasn't ported and yours has a little more design into it.

Around the Tri-Cities, to get that made for you would run at least 250-400. Used, I would say a fair price would be in the 100-200 depending on quality.

Yeah, not even close on all of those, but thanks anyway. Got a hold of the stereo shop and guy who made it and asked what he would charge for another one.
