This little table will tell how I feel, given the described condition... But
it should apply to most any original LBC hardtop in that condition.

If you paid:
Under $200:  You thief!  <vbg>  
$200-350:  A good deal on a top.
$350-600: This is where most of them will sell. 
$600-750:  You *REALLY* wanted that hardtop badly, didn't you? 
$750-1000:  Going for the concourse trophy this year, I see...
Over $1000:  Are you sure there's a hardtop in that original, factory-sealed
box?

Well, I don't really think that these things ever came in a box, but you see
what I mean.  Unless you have or are looking for a particularly rare hard
top, this is about what the market says in this area.
