Been looking at 304 TB's and there are two on eBay. One that looks fairly rough at $50 and another at $100 that looks decent. Question is what is one worth? $100 seems a little steep?
I have to buy one online as there are none in the north of the state and if Hobart has one that's 3hrs away.

I paid $60 cash for a used one in 2015 (local pickup). I expect prices could have gone up since Holden closed down.

Yeah $60 sounds pretty fair. Probably $15-$16 in postage. Probably right prices have gone up. There are no 304 V8's in the north of the state, VR and VS are getting really hard to find. Only two wreckers in Launceston that VR and VS stock, and all of those are V6. If you want VR or VS Stato forget it, there are only two in the north and what's left on them is now basically ruined. One is completely stripped and the other has had windows removed destroying most of the interior. Looks like I might have to use eBay and pay the $100, which I think includes freight.

Too many
Just the standard 65mm throttle body? I pull down and sell 304's regularly, I get $20 for them normally but they don't move quickly. I've got a couple in the shed and can send you one for $20+post if you like?

Check if yours already has it.

My vp already had one on it & that wasn't modified apart from junk replacement parts...even found one on a mate's junk vr v6 when needed one for a v8 conversion.
Seen a few v6's at wreckers with 65mm throttle bodies on them,either some come from factory with them or just a common mod

I will check but I just got one. Won't matter anyway as mine had a snapped bolt that I drilled out but had to put a tek screw in as the thread was ruined after drilling.

I only had a 60mm on. I have the 65mm to fit tomorrow morning. Question is will i need to have a retune for the trans or should it be ok?

No problem with the trans, that's only a problem with MAF tuned systems.
