See comments in restoration help. You will need to find someone in QLD to supply as these trims are real hard to freight.

Hi Terry,
I have a full set of front windscreen stainless trims, but have no idea what would be a fair price.  I live in Toowoomba.  Do you need the full set or just the vertical front pillar sections?
Anyone else have an idea of their value?  They are in pretty good condition, very straight & stainless in good order.
Regards,
Pete

IMHO here is what I believe the trims are worth.

Top trim - not too hard to find $5-$10
Side trims - hard to get with NO wiper scratches or dents $5 - $30 each
Bottom trim - Hard to get without stone dents or bends at the ends $10 - $40

So a poor set could be as cheap as $25 whilst a really top set could be $110.

I think this is a fair guide.

I meant to add about freight - these trims are a long curve. I think the top one may fit in a large tube but the bottom one won't fit and is the most fragile of all the trims. It could be freighted by taping it to a flat board and then wrapping it in bubble wrap.
