What is a used turbo setup worth?

Hey, maybe someone here can tell me what is a used turbo setup worth. I have one from a '87 300D and it has a good bearing, with all hardware and brackets/bolts. Just wondering because no one has shown any interest in it, as I have been advertising it in the "parts" forum.

Thanks for any opinions on what this is worth, or maybe I should keep it and build a hot-rod diesel.......HAPPY NEW YEAR 11:59PM est

About $50 at the most is all it is worth.

They rarely go bad or have problems, so they are quite easy to come by cheaply.....

I think they are about $50.00 plus $10.00 core charge @ pick n pull.

50% off though for 2 more days.

so today your turbo is only worth $25.00.

There not worth much until you need one.

I did sell the one off my 85 cali car for $150.00

wait a minute, I just changed my mind, so I think I'll keep it and build that hot-rod diesel, but thanks for the offer.
