Default 944 Turbo and Turbo S ECU's

I have a pair of these.......

I don't own (and will unlikely ever own) a 944 Turbo so they are of no use to me whatsoever. One is an 0261 201 014 from a Turbo, and an 0261 200 088 from a Turbo S. Both are working.
I need to put them on EvilBay - but what are they worth? I'm not into Porsches in any shape or form so have no reference point.

TIA.

Totally useless to you, I am sure someone here can try to put them to some kind of use.

If you have no idea if they are working or not then that does impact the price. 75 - 125 would be my best guess. Ive seen working ones go for 100 on here.

Granted The people that sold them on here have accountability because they are members of the site or own a car. You dont seem to have much accountability since you will be one and done with this sale. so i would guess on the lower end of the spectrum since it will be a take the money and run type of deal.

Andy,
To be honest, they aren't worth that much except for the rare person who wants to downgrade from an aftermarket chip, and even then there are dozens of people w/ stock chips sitting on their shelves to basically give away.

Rarely do the chips go bad and need replacement. It's usually the entire DME that has issues and gets replaced.

ECU/DME or chips? I think this needs clarification

I think you're right. I misread.

Chips themselves are pretty much worthless. Validated working computers can go for a couple hundred $s.

Of course, if you put it on ebay with no reserve, the market will tell you what those parts are worth...

Haha, I would go with the offer that gives you the most extraneous extra crap along with a wad of cold hard cash. Paper clips are hard to come by as is gum. Things to consider....
