Default Robart retract worth?

I have a set of Robart air retracts that I had planned to install in the Top Flite P40 Warhawk kit I was building. I have since abandoned the project. I was planning on selling these in the classifieds but really have no idea what they are now worth. I figured that many users here could help so I leave it up to the pros.
Thanks in advance for any help.
I have included pics, please ask questions if I forgot any info that might be required

Instead of loosing money on them, they are worth keeping until you need them.

If they are new and un-used then about 75% of new. They go pretty well on e-bay, Ijust bought a new set at a swap meet with all new in the package with a pump, and all the valves for $100

I have a couple of sets under the bench, can't recall the brands, no name etched in them. I just tested them and both sets work fine. I would sell them but as soon as I do I will want them for something. One of my favorite Spring Airs has a worn seal!! I'm sure the other one is about ready to go too. Time to send them in for repair. Those I wouldn't sell!
