I would take a look in eBay - check for how much the necks similar to yours (Classic 50's and 60's necks, Baja Tele's neck) are usually sold and go from there.

With tuners, I'd say $200-$300 depending on condition and obviously less without.

The thinline neck is not as desirable due to the bullet truss rod. You may get $200 but don't expect much more than 150 plus shipping costs. You might want to check with shippers to get a ballpark figure to set a shipping price if you auction it. Get an ebay account and click on the watch item button on a few necks then check back after the end and see what they've sold for. You can put a reserve price on your neck but many people tend not to bid on those items and you want the competeing bids to get the best offer. Most necks are sold without the tuners. They sell them in another auction. People also look at the amout of transactions and the feedback scores before they bid on an item.

Unless if it is a 1969 Thinline, those don't have the bullet-trussrod.

Your right Iago. But all mim reissue thinline's I've seen have been 72"s If I had a 69 I wouldn't change a thing except maybe put a humbucker in the neck. And that's only a maybe. 8)
