wolber alpine t430 wheels with 7 speed freewheel, whats it worth?
I have a set of wolber alpine t430 wheels with 7 speed freewheel on shimano 600 hubs, what would this set be worth? i just want to know what a fair price is. the wheels have some corrosion on spokes but still look serviceable, the freewheel is pretty much perfect and super smooth.

The Drive Side is Within
Don't know the value, but my old Panasonic has had a black ano wolber alpine/ 105 hub on the front that has stayed true and fast through living in NYC, century rides, pothol-y night rides, etc.

That looks like a cassette to me, not a freewheel. If that's the case, I'd place the value a bit higher because an 8/9/10 speed freehub body could be swapped onto the rear wheel and it could be used with a modern bike/drivetrain.
Still, no one likes rusty/corroded spokes. I don't see these being worth much more than $100.

Since the spokes have corrosion, you might want to consider parting them out. You could probably get a minimum of $30 each for the hubset, freewheel, and rims. You'd broaden you buyer pool and shipping would be easier.
