Need help with pricing rare parts

Well after a year or more of searching for parts for my 1983 Laredo, I finally found some. The seller has asked me to make an offer. I don't want to offend this individual, so I need some advice for you guys. I found the following: 1) Factory CJ8 rear step bumper. It was originally white but a previous owner covered it in bedliner. It does not include the mounting brackets or end caps. 2) CJ8 wood side boards. Not NOS but good original parts. 3) Used chrome front bumper. Once again, not NOS but is good conditions. 4) Chrome exterior door handles. Good used condition.

What do you guys think? Thanks in advance for your opinions!
 
The Chrome exterior door handles are still available from Mopar NOS. I can't recall how much, but they are reasonable.

My brother just sold a NOS chrome rear bumper with plastic endcaps and no hardware for $1500.

I think his NOS wood boards were selling for $700 a set no hardware.

He currently has a nice chrome front bumper up for sale for $200. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. I would have bought that rear bumper if he would have shipped it. It was very nice!

Omix are junk and don't last long. I buy them from my local Jeep dealer. Last time was maybe two years ago. Chrome are same as YJ. TJ/LJ Black ones can be used too, rights are left, and lefts are right though.
 
Nice rear bumpers (chrome or white) sell for $1500 or more. Covered in bedliner...hard to say but less obviously. If straight and no dents and rust I'd still venture to guess $800 - $1000.

Original side boards with the rear upright pieces in good shape (no rot or chips) go for around $400-$500.

Chrome front bumpers in nice shape probably $200-$250.
 
Thanks for everyone's input. I was able to reach an agreement with the seller and will hopefully see my new parts soon.
