Very typical problems. Sometimes you can't give Formula hoods away. You have to find someone with a firebird that wants one.

I just bought a formula hood in slightly better shape (also needed some repair on one corner) for $350. The thing is that they are very hard to come by locally and shipping adds up quick. The aftermarket hoods might be lighter, but I wasn't sure they had all of the ram air provisions.

I really wanted a formula hood, so I am happy with the purchase.

IMO, you won't be able to sell your hood for more than 50 bucks. as mentioned, it's the shipping and travel distance involved that's the killer. I was offered a RA hood once for 750 when I bought my Judge, and it wasn't even an original RA hood. Of course that never sold.
