Radiators being the life blood of the engine and being able to get them pretty cheap now won't bring much on resale. If  you have a list I'd like to see it.  Also put your em in your profile so potential buyers could contact you.  I'd suggest your state also so if it's close bigger stuff can be collected instead of shipped.  I would not use a used rad any longer but might have in the 1970's when parts were a bit harder to source.

Take some pics of the header tanks of what you've got and post them up so someone can identify if you've got anything original and desirable in there. Some have a tag soldered on the top tank and rivet counters may want them for restorations if they feel they match what their car should have. But otherwise, they aren't worth a whole heck of a lot to someone who has a working radiator. For someone who doesn't have a working radiator, the $42 free shipping aluminum jobbers on fleabay are tough to not buy.

When I bought my mini, it came with a lot of extra stuff. I’m trying to sell the stuff I don’t need to fund the project. I have a bin full of radiators. I haven’t pulled them out of the bin so I don’t have any idea what they are yet. I’m guessing I don’t have anything special. So what’s the market for used radiators? What’s a reasonable ballpark price I would ask for them as they are (in an unknown state) and after I have a radiator shop go through them and clean and make any repairs? Or am I better of sending them to the recycling heap?
thanks in advance.
