What are these Snap On Ratchets worth?

I have two Snap On ratchets that I'm probably going to post in the classifieds. The problem is that I have no idea what they are really worth. I think I probably overpaid for them when I bought them. What do you guys think is a fair asking price?

The first one is a Snap On F830. It's in good mechanical condition, but shows lots of obvious signs of use as you can see. This one doesn't have any engravings on it that I've seen.

The next one is a F731A flex head. This one is a bit rougher looking. It's got an engraving on the head that says TD, on both sides of the head it has light engraving. One one side it says Johnny and on the other it says something that looks like Brick. It also has some rust as you can see on the handle. That said, while it looks rough it's very functional and works very well. The flex head is still surprisingly tight. I'm on the fence about selling this one, but I bought a 80 tooth version and just don't use it much.

You can see "Johnny" here

Here you can see TD to the left of the SO logo.

Here you can see the engraving on the other side that's hard to read.

What do you guys think a fair asking price would be for these two ratchets?

Look at ebay sold listings. Maybe $30 for the fixed head and $50 for the flex head as a starting point for asking price but expect to sell it for less? Rust and owner marks will work against you. GLWS.

$30 for the non flex is right on IMO but the rust and all the engraving and previous owner marks on that flex would ruin it for me and most people I think. Of course that may not be the case if it were a dual 80 but being an older 36 tooth ratchet, it has an awful lot working against it.

I'd looked at eBay and was thinking prices pretty close to those, but as said, I wasn't sure how much the rust and engraving hurt the value on the flex head and what it was really worth in that condition.

$30-35 range each. I see them on ebay all the time. Most guys are moving towards the newer style. I have a little of everything in my box. The older styles are still nice ratchets.

If you're chummy with your SO guy and if SO doesn't offer a 36 tooth (I'm assuming) rebuild kit, you can put a little punch in that hole and knock the detent ball out and have them replaced under warranty. Then you'd have brand new (new style) ones.

My Snap On guy told me that the main reason Snap On moved away from the hole opposite the detent ball is because guys were doing exactly what I suggested whenever they wanted new stuff (ratchets, extensions, speeders, etc)
