As far as the original poster...
1. Are they the Eye 2's, or the Eye 2+?
2. What shaft? Most of the Eye 2's had the Brunswick MicroTaper shaft. Stiff as a piece of galvanized pipe.
3. What color dot? If they're too far from standard, it might be difficult for anyone to play them. And, the BeCu's should not be bent. Chances are, you'll break some of them it you try.
4. What clubs are in the "set"? 3-PW? Are they all the same serial number?

The "value" is only what someone will pay for them. Personally, I can't see selling a set for $400-$500 when a set of new clubs... without the personality... will cost twice that much. If they are, in fact, an entire set through wedge and are all the same serial number you might find someone who will pay a little more.

Put Wishon's or Callaways or Nikes or Titleists or newer generation Pings in your bag and you may get the obligatory glance at the bag. Put the BeCu Pings in the bag and you'll find yourself in conversations about the clubs. They ARE unique.

You cannot buy newer technology. The Eye 2 design fathered the permiter weighting/cast clubhead technology that has endured for over 30 years. Understand, I am 62 years old with bad knees. (Scheduled knee replacement, this morning, for mid-August.) Have really struggled, this year, due to the knee pain. Yet, have carded a number of rounds in the upper 70's and dozens in the low 80's.... with BeCu Eye 2+'s. Having owned most every brand of OEM out there, I honestly believe I could score no better with any other set of irons.

Good luck with whatever decision you do make.
