Core charges for shock absorbers?

[29restorod]

I would like to know the average core charge for rebuilt shocks. I have 4 really nice shocks, arms, links, and all bolts, that a guy I know wants to buy from me. I know what new shocks are worth, and I figure that these should be worth at least the core charges.

They should be at least worth the core charge as long as they are rebuildable. Do they move at all, or do they have a sloppy shaft?

I had one that was frozen, but after removing the rust it was very worn and too sloppy to rebuild.

I'm going back a while, but as I recall it was $45 per core - another $20 per arm, and if the links are the original tube ones you should add $60 or so to this for the set of them. I would think this would be fair, but someone else might chime in.

Thanks guys, I got $100 cash and $50 in parts. We were both very happy. Now I must finish installing the rear tube shock kit on my 29.
