Is 1500 hundred dollars for a model t 5 ball Carb a fair price or should I say are they worth 1500 dollars?

Depends on quality, whether it's been rebuilt and who by, are all parts correct for the year, original or repro parts, junker drug to every swap meet in the country, etc.

The correctly rebuilt ones from people who know what they are doing will bring close to double that and I've turned some down for $500.
I'm sure Russ has done that, too.

Remember that Kingston made a lot of different models similar to the Ford one. They are worth a third of what Ford models are.

If you want good fresh Oats for horse feed they are expensive. If they've already been run through the horse they are considerably cheaper is an old saying that's still true.

I have been offered 1500 hundred each I just don't want to rip him off I have been watching prices and they are all over the place. All I have to do is say yes but I also want to be fair to Mom and him Thanks Colin

If it is all complete and unmolested by somebody it should be worth that Canadian. That's about $1100 US, which is about what a nice core is worth. It also depends on the year, the early ones from 1909 with no choke in the inlet are not worth as much as the later ones with the choke. IMHO

Thanks for the infor the deal is done Moms happy and the 4 carbs are on there way to Ontario , one less thing to deal with Cheers Colin
