Resale value on caps it downright pathetic. I paid $1200 for mine and two years later, I only got $400 for it. I hope you get $800 for yours.

I did awfully well on a Snugtop that I had on my 2002 - 2500 Avalanche. The guy who bought my Avalanche didn't want the canopy, so I was left with it hanging in my garage.

Sooo, I put it in the classifieds on www.chevyavalanchefanclub.com and was absolutely diluged with inquiries.

I live in Oregon and I eventually sold the Snugtop to a very nice Av owner in New York state.....and he paid the air freight.

The Snugtop cost me $1950 and I got 1400. Not bad. Both the buyer and seller (that would be me) were both very happy, and that is as it should be.

Interestingly, I have a 2003 Chevy Silverado Z-71 EC/SB in pewter. Your canopy would be a perfect match for my truck and I surely would entertain purchasing it if you lived in Oregon or Washington. My point is that locality is a very definite issue; I found a guy who would pay for the shipping, but that was sheer luck. Most likely, your buyer is going to be in your local area. Maybe it would be good to try TruckTrader or the local Nickle Ads. Heck, even try putting a up a notice in your local grocery store might work. With a bit of hustle on your part, you'll move it.

Good luck in your sale.

I think it use to be that way, but with the price of new fiberglass toppers as high as it is, added to the steadily increasing popularity of them over aluminum models, the resale value seems to be better now.

I just sold my old Leer high-back that I originally bought new for my red "94" Sonoma, and then later had re-painted black for my "97" Sonoma. I paid $1149.00 new, and just sold it for $800.00. The new Glasstite that I have on order for my new Sierra crew cab came to a total of $1618.00.
