Ritchey Aero Wheelset... How much?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Ritchey Aero Wheelset... How much?

I have a slightly used set of these that were given to me, how much would they fetch on CL or ebay?

Ritchey Aero Road with Ritchey hubs. They have the offset spokes.

Are they carbon fiber? Based on the information you gave they could be worth $20- $1500.

I'd say $200. Ritchey stopped making wheels for a reason.

I've seen those wheels on ebay quite a few times, and they rarely fetch much money (usually around $100-150/pair), even though they are decent and light components. As far as I can tell, the rims are Velocity Aeroheads (OCR rear) and the rear hub is American Classic.
