I have a bunch for old projects that are not needed now, not just for the Pontiac. What is the best way to get them out of my shed and into those that need or cold use them.
How would I place a value on them?
Thanks

Welcome Red
Probably start with your location.
Do you have a good inventory? Some parts are hard to find while others are probably in most of our yards or friends yards 
Really depends on what you have an shipping.
Sales are hard right now, online sales are down and used items well no one trust anyone anymore.
But we have a great community here. I would suggest sharing your inventory over in General chat for the Fiero parts and there is an other car forum page you can post here.

My honest opinion, this is what I've typically done in the past:
1 - For parts that you know / feel are rare and have some value... sell them on eBay.
2 - For everything else... post it up for free for someone to just come take it off your hands.
You'll make money from the few parts that have real value... like a Fiero spoiler, or a 120mph gauge cluster, or something like that. While the run of the mill stuff... door handles, body panels, things like that... you'll really just lose time and money by trying to sell all that stuff... it's better to just give it away and save yourself a ton of effort and time.

Most of the stuff is new in box service parts. Think tie rods/ ball joints,belts/hoses/valve seals, gaskets things on that idea. that I ordered spares when I replaced the ones on the car.
Other things are like tail lights, sub box/wiring. a complete rear cradle with good running engine and transmission.
I haven't bothered really trying to move these because I am torn if I get another Fiero with an automatic for the s/o.

Craigslist, especially for the bigger stuff.
Just need to be careful (keep both eyes open) as there’s a lot of shady characters on Craigslist.

Maybe take some snap shots, post them here or in the mall section, think about the value you'd like to have for each item, or bundle items.
Depending of your location, there might be some Fiero owners with-in driving distance that might want to contact you.
In the past I've given some things away , like radios and stock seat upholstery that I could have sold, but it felt good just helping fellow member out.
