    I bought some similar lengths (actually 3m long) but in 150x50 not so long ago in similar condition for $20 each, so $50 sounds about right. At the end of the day they are worth what someone is willing to pay for them. You could try the Market Place auction with a starting price of $50 and see what you can get, it is up to you whether you accept any bids.

    Not sure what you would get as the photo suggests considerable degrade within the boards(surface and end checking).Looks like they have spent some time out in the elements!...MM
