Value of 87 TC taillight assemblies

Can any of you tell me the approximate value of a pair of complete taillight assemblies for an 87 Turbo Coupe?
The right one has a three inch hairline crack the left one is in nice condition.
Thanks for any help you can offer on this.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Look them up on ebay and click on the completed sales on the left side column. That'll give you a pretty good indication.

Thanks for the tip. I have never even seen that option on ebay before.....DUH
It looks like they go anywhere from $30.00 to $120 each depending on condition.

Haystack,
Thanks for the offer, that sounds like a real fair price.

Actually I have been trying on Craigslist to sell the 87 (the one I originally bought for a parts car) during the past couple of months. I was told by several Turbo Coupe lovers that the Light Regatta Blue color & the auto transmission made it a very rare car that it would be a shame to part-out.
A guy in Prescott has been bugging me forever to sell him the taillights off of it, but I had no idea what they might be worth.
Since it has been offered for sale since the first of the year for $1000 with no takers, I am going to start selling parts off of it.
Thanks to all of you who offered your input here.

Wouldn't you know it, I had a really windy night and my garbage can fell over and broke both tail lights somehow :(. At least I have some spares...

WOW, that is a bummer. 
Last year we had a wind that picked up our patio umbrella & during its flight it broke a house window & the windshield on my Accord wagon. Do I have to say anything about what I think of strong gusts of wind?
