I was just given this. What does the group say for an FMV? 

It came off a Trans Am car that found a wall and is missing a pretty good chunk.

You got some nice junky junk ya know?  What do you think and see if we agree.  Always better to state what you want it at.

that's a trash pick for anyone at the track.  $0.00 in my book.

I'm still trying to figure out what FMV means?

Fair market value.  It is used to determine price of objects that are difficult to value for challenge purposes.

 

I don't think free is quite right.  I think that can be fixed and made to work properly.

 

I was thinking more like $40.00.

Hah, this was a pretty great score. 

I'd tend to agree with Angry on this, generally. At just about any IMSA race I've attended there's some chunk of race car in a trash can somewhere. That said, this wasn't actually grabbed in this way hence the question.

I suppose the other way to value this would be what someone would pay to hang it on the wall. I don't think I'd pay much of anything personally but it's a real race car part that took part in a real race. I could see someone grabbing this an attempting to sell it for as much as $100 but I can't imagine someone would pay that much.

$0 IMHO all day long.  Now if it were undamaged...

So you're asking for zero?  I'm good with that.

Yup, zero value trash pickings.

Seems like the prevailing thought is $0 so I'll run with that unless there are strong opinions otherwise. 

Thanks!

$0 as is $6 if you add enough duct tape and cardboard to make it a functional aerodynamic device again

That literally trash and you paid nothing for it. $0.
