Depends on what they are worth to you....have you checked to see if there are any sets already for sale on ebay?

I am not sure what they cost new, but I would say you can probably sell them for around $150...I am just guessing...
Personally I would just keep them as a spare set godforbid something happen to your blacklines.

NO WAY are you going to get $150 for OEM tails. Black lines are $170 shipped brand new.

LongTran can't even get rid of his multiple sets at $40.

I kept mines in the boxes the black lines came in.

I don't see why it would worth more...? It is just an OEM part.

I always keep my stock stuff for when I sell the car in the future.
You have a better chance of selling aftermarket later than selling stock now.

Who wants to buy stock lights? It would be different if the 335 came with different tails than the 328 then it would be different.

Craigslist or Ebay, best option if you want to sell for a good price.

Keep them

When you sell the car take the blacklines off and sell them seperately

either what Fleet suggested, or sell them separately on EBay -- someone may just need one... Put a note that both are available for a 2x - 10% (for example) price, and combined shipping...

mine are just sitting in the garage. i wouldn't mind getting rid of them since all they do is take up space.

my coworker was lucky and was able to sell his for $100 on craigslist. some body shop bought them.

anyway, there's not much of a market for them, so don't expect to get much if you try to sell them.
