Tillotson carburetor

[46HARLEY]

Just wondering what would be a reasonable price for non rebuilt Tillotson carb.
Thanks

For carbs of unknown condition, I usually don't give more than $5 to $10 since you can assume they could have stripped threads, missing parts, or ???

If it has all of its parts, float,gav. $5-$10

And for a Zenith?

Thanks for the replies, the prices on the internet are way off then. Somewhere around $100.00.

I don't follow prices of Model A parts very carefully, but a few years ago I went through my parts boxes and dug out four or five Tillotsons in various states of completion, mostly together. I think I was asking $45 for the whole shebang. Not one person responded, not even a request for only one carb or parts they needed. Nada. I have since used most of them up repairing other people's Tillotsons.
Maybe things have changed since then, but I considered these carbs as having little or no value to the collecting community. Perhaps RNOS Tillotsons still in the box would command $100 prices, but based on my sad selling experience, any condition less than that means you'll only get what someone else is willing to pay, usually less than what you expected.

This is swap meet prices.....The Marvel carburetor has taken over the Tillotson market now that parts are available. The Marvel carburetor is usually $20 if it's complete.
I had a container of Tillotson carbs at Hershey last fall and nobody wanted them.
If I find a nos Tillotson I'll buy and save it, have 3 now.
Zenith prices are all over the place, I can still find them for $5 ea. Most of the time they start at
$20-$75.
A complete B Zenith starts at $100.00 if you can find them.
