Blue wing foam what is it worth?

I found a guy locally who has part of a long EZ kit it came as a kit in the 1980s. He has all of the blue foam that came with it. Can anybody tell me what it's worth? Only thing that he has built for the fuselage sides

If the foam has been stored inside and is dry, I would say that half of the current retail price would be a fair offer.   

If I can find a price list from the 80s, I will post it.

Found a price list from Wicks Aircraft, dated July 1988.  The Basic Raw Materials (epoxy, urethane foam, divinycell foam, polystyrene foam, fiberglass, filler material, wood kit, metal kit, bolt kit, screw kit, nut kit, cotter key kit, nutplate kit, washer kit, rivet kit, cable & cable hardware, plumbing, miscellaneous kit) was about $3500 plus shipping.

But there is a lot more needed that is not include in that price such as, wheels/brakes, nose gear, landing gears, nose retract mechanism, cowlings, canopy, motor mount, motor, instruments, prop, electrical, lights, etc.
