Apex sold them for $300...

Retail prices
New mags @ $25
Slings $15-25

Furniture wood vs beaver makes a big difference, ~$225 per wood set (stock, grip, upper and lower handguards and including hardware), ~$125 per beaver

Bayonets new unissued at ~$40

Folding stocks ~$25 (most vz2008s have these and a lot folks are selling them when replacing/not wanting more)

(All new unissued)
Top covers ~$40
Strikers ~$15
Bolt carriers ~$50
Locking piece ~$20
Bolts ~$40
Extractors ~$15
Firing Pins ~$15
Pins ~$5
Pistons ~$15 (but most folks switch them out for 922r, so relatively worthless)
All 3 op springs ~$15-20
Front sight posts ~$7.50
Rear sight springs -- rarely ever break/wear out, maybe $5?
Cleaning pieces are part of cleaning kits that new run $15
Muzzle nuts probably $7.50 is fair

Depending on what you want to do w/ it, anything less than $1k is probably fair value, a lot of this stuff will only go up in price...
