Default 1966 center console worth?

I have a center console out of a 66 Lemans "auto". Has lid and wiring harness,chrome is in good shape,wood insert could be replaced. What would this be worth? I saw a center console out of a 66 GTO on ebay for $900+ isnt that crazy!

900 is crazy for an auto console
900 is pretty reasonable for a VERY nice 4-speed console

more like 300 for a pretty nice auto console

I have one just as you described sitting in the For Sale section for $100 harness and all and it's not moving. I just sold a really nice one with the harness for $150. There are a bunch of them around you won't get much more than that. 4 speed consoles are a different world and are highly saught after.

I knew that an auto console was not as desirable as a 4 speed,but I cant believe people will pay so much.
Also my console is a 66 with wood inserts over the finned chrome.Im not looking to sell mine,just curious what the auto console's are going for.

GarysGTOGoodies will offer high prices and high dollar items like this because he restores them to better than new condition from what I can see in his photos, never bought anything from him personally, but he has some beautiful items. You will pay for it though.
If you look and are not in a hurry to buy, you can find nice auto consoles such as the one I just sold for $150 and yes there are a few 4-speed consoles that sell on Ebay for $300 I see them all year long and in nice shape too. You just have to be at the right place at the right time.
The best time to try and find items that are generally pricey is now when it is cold for the most part as many people do not buy do to the weather and the holidays coming. The prices start dropping significantly.
